    This song is highlighting the inequalities in traditional monogomy. But using deep metaphorical phrases like. If i was twice the man i could be id still be half of what you need. Then he turns it around and points out that he gets everything he wants when he gets part of you. Bascially he is pointing out the enotional one sidedness of relationships men face and the hypergamous standards of women.

    This song is about a groomer gaslighting his lover ... Although he asks for agency in cutting her ring finger off, he is passively aggressively dominating and manipulating her into fidelity.

    He is tired of being mistreated.
    He wants the girl he's been doing everything for to finally do something for him.

    So he asks,
    Can I have it? Your Ringfinger.
    Whether a metaphor or not, he feels he deserves it after everything he's been forced to do.
