I have watched some of his intros and he still doesn't literally spell it out for you on what the song means. However, it is not necessarily a love song (it is, but it isn't). He says its impossible to love anything out there if you hate whats inside of you. It is a conversation with all of his personalities/voices (good and bad) and learning how to be kind with yourself.
In another video, he says how he has noticed that the more guilty he felt about something the more he continued to do that something. This fits with the line "Well I tried to repress it and I carried its crown".
He continues. It is about seeing if you can step out of the self-hatred and putting that hatred onto someone else and seeing if you can just love someone else.
Again, I'm not sure how some of these ideas connect with specific lines of the song.
