Correction: It's "And I'm comfy like a cesspool." She is addicted to this man who is no good for her. But she's comfortable just giving in because it's what she's used to. But she realizes she needs to listen to her heart (like her preacher said) and get out of the "cesspool" of a situation. |

One correction: It's "I think the creature's coming back." Not "preacher's coming back." The creature in reference is a personal "demon." She later reflects on something her "preacher" told her about his faith, but in the first line, it's "creature." |

No, pretty sure it's "comfy" like a cesspool. It's supposed to mean that she is "comfortable" doing what she's doing with her life. But at the end of the day, it's still a cesspool. (Cesspools are "comfy" by the way with all of the millions of nasty micro organisms overflowing on top of one another)
The preacher in this song is telling her she needs to come his way (the way can be any religion, but I'm assuming it is indeed of the Christian origin considering the choice of the word "preacher.") or else her life will continue to be a cesspool full of demons. It's uncomfortable at first to step outside of your own habits and ideals whether it's drugs, sex, or lack of love for yourself or others. By trusting in something bigger than yourself, such as God, it will help force all of your personal demons out and cause them to wither. It doesn't HAVE to be religious, but I think in this case, it is. Anyone who has been told by a preacher to just give everything to God (that's the preacher's "way") has these thoughts during times of struggle. |
