Bright Eyes – A Scale, a Mirror, and Those Indifferent Clocks Lyrics 16 years ago
I think that this song is about an eating disorder.

Consider these lyrics:
"With an absolute concept of beauty"
^^ people suffering from eating disorders have a twisted concept of beauty
"Now I know a disease that these doctors can't treat"
^^ though you can improve through therapy, eating disorders are essentially untreatable

I personally don't see how this song could be about rape
