It is sad but there are those who are addicted to abusive relationships. I think that is what the verses of this song are conveying,
"I WANT love to roll me over slowly, stick a knife inside of me, and twist it all around".
This abuser manages to alienate the one abused from friends and family, typical in abusive relationships,
"I want love to turn my friends to enemies...I want love to murder my own mother..."
The murder of one's mother I take metaphorically - the tragic affect the abusive relationship has on one's own Mother.
This dysfunctional relationship includes wanting to forgive the abuser,
"I want love to forget that you've offended me..."
It may be that the abuser has a good quality that abused thinks makes up for all the abuse (of course it doesn't),
"Or how you have defended me when everybody tore me down."
What is ironic about this statement is that the abuser tears down the self esteem of the abused yet defends the abused to others when they tear the abused down.
The epiphany comes in the refrain,
"Yeah I wont let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I won't let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I won't let love disrupt, corrupt, or interrupt me ANYMORE."
The abusive "love" is now seen for what it is; unhealthy, dysfunctional, and damaging. The abused vows to leave the abusive relationship. The abused will no longer allow this form of dysfunctional "love" to "disrupt, corrupt or interrupt" them anymore.
This song is a powerful statement on the anatomy of an abusive relationship and the abused emerging with a new perspective on what love is really meant to be.
