When this song was written and recorded, Gerard was going through his alcoholic stage. The drinking shows in the lyrics ("I said, we'll drown ourselves in misery tonight" "These eyes have had too much to drink again tonight").
The song could be about him losing a drinking partner/friend ("Pick up the phone, pick up the phone, fucker") and lashing out about it, because there is a lot of anger and violence in the words (I wanna see what your insides look like, I bet you're not fucking pretty on the inside"). Just a thought.
