I completely see it the way you guys do:
"If you can hide the evidence"
Keep anyone from figuring out she/he's being beaten.
"If you can choke down the laughs"
I don't know, maybe the person beating doesn't have any pity and it just makes them laugh how the other person just shuts up.
"It's too late to let it in
when it's under your skin"
It's too late to get over it (actually, it can also mean to speak up) when you already have a connection, are already attached.
Someone might also think of it as cheating. Hiding the evidence of it. Slowly grind away the innocence can be that one is influencing another into things they've never done before, most likely sex.
I guess I see it this the way I do because I can relate to it so much more this way.
