Is Rihanna's New Single A Defense of Staying In a Violent Relationship?

I don't think there's any real denying that Rihanna's new single, "Russian Roulette," isn't much good.  The song relies on her weakest skill: making vocals big, rather than cheerfully and aggressively robotic and dance-oriented.  The tempo's strange.  And the song feels really overproduced: big drumbeats, backing singers, and electronic interventions.  But the thing that scares me to death is the lyrics:

And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
...
As my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
But it’s too late too pick up the value of my life

I mean, really?  This isn't Lady Gaga-esque bravado, a declaration that "Russian Roulette is not the same without a gun / And baby when it's love, if it's not rough it isn't fun."  This is literally a song about playing Russian Roulette with someone.  It ends with the sound of a gunshot.  The lyrics literally are about the singer undervaluing her own life, and treating the terror she's experiencing as a test she has to pass, presumably to win the love of the guy she's playing with.  The song makes me ill--when "Silly Boy" leaked as a Rihanna track a couple of months ago, I thought it was a perfect career move for her: upbeat, vocally playing to her strengths, and by far most importantly, a rebuke to a guy who would treat his girlfriend badly.  I do understand that it's extremely difficult to leave an abusive relationship, and I respect that.  But I thought it would have been terrific for someone to overcome such a relationship in public.  Instead, Rihanna is using a song about embracing being terrorized as her comeback single.
