I never considered this song in terms of an abusive or bad relationship--in fact, I just signed this morning up so I could provide an alternate view. :)
I've always related to "Hyper-Ballad" from the perspective of a kind of wild, sometimes destructive person who's found love...which is this very fragile thing. You're almost a danger to it in your wildness. The morning ritual described in the song is a way to act out and still be in touch with your anger, your destructiveness...and makes you okay to return to the stability, sweetness or gentleness of the relationship.
I agree with you. This song inspired a book of my own. I wanted to get a deeper handle on the words to the song. Your take on it, which was at the top of the list - explained feelings and emotions of the characters I created. I have heard too many times that it's about being in an abusive relationship - which would be quite the opposite for the people in my book. I like your translation the best!
