Locked up inside you
Like the calm beneath castles
Is a cavern of treasures that
Noone has been to
Let's go digging
Let's go digging
Bring it out to take you back in
You won't do what you'd like to do
Lay back and let me show you another way
I'll kill what you want me to
Take what's left and eat it
Take all or nothing
Life's just too short to push it away
Take it all
Take it all in
All the way in
All the way in
Let it go in
Let it go in
You won't feel what you'd like to feel
Lay back and let me show you another way
Kill what you want me
Take what's left and eat it
Take all or nothing
Just too short to push it away
If you knock me down
I'll just come back running
Knock you down
It won't be long now
All the way in
All the way
All the way in
All the way in
Kill what you want me
Take what's left and eat it
Take all or nothing
Just too short to push it away
Take it up, take it up higher
4 degrees now, 4 degrees warmer
Give in now, give in now
And let me in
You'll like this in
Don't pull it out
It brings us closer than
Dying and cancer and crying
Kill what you want me
Take what's left and eat it
Take all or nothing
Just too short to push it away
Just like that
Just like that
Just like that
Like the calm beneath castles
Is a cavern of treasures that
Noone has been to
Let's go digging
Let's go digging
Bring it out to take you back in
You won't do what you'd like to do
Lay back and let me show you another way
I'll kill what you want me to
Take what's left and eat it
Take all or nothing
Life's just too short to push it away
Take it all
Take it all in
All the way in
All the way in
Let it go in
Let it go in
You won't feel what you'd like to feel
Lay back and let me show you another way
Kill what you want me
Take what's left and eat it
Take all or nothing
Just too short to push it away
If you knock me down
I'll just come back running
Knock you down
It won't be long now
All the way in
All the way
All the way in
All the way in
Kill what you want me
Take what's left and eat it
Take all or nothing
Just too short to push it away
Take it up, take it up higher
4 degrees now, 4 degrees warmer
Give in now, give in now
And let me in
You'll like this in
Don't pull it out
It brings us closer than
Dying and cancer and crying
Kill what you want me
Take what's left and eat it
Take all or nothing
Just too short to push it away
Just like that
Just like that
Just like that

What i get from this song mainly is insistence. A real sense of urgency that is overflowing.
It's about sodomy. You can say there is a deeper theme of self discovery and what not but i don't think that's meant to be expressed as explicitly as some people think. This is a man trying to talk someone into anal sex. While we can see the principles of the nobility of discarding your inhibitions to try something new, something new to be learned about yourself through experience, to me, it always comes back around to the narrator.
His insistence is palpable. If you pay attention to not just the lyrics, but the cadence of how they are delivered, you can get the sense that what this man is saying could very well be, for lack of a better word, sweet talk. A snake oil salesman perhaps. Yearning for a tighter and warmer hole to put himself in. It becomes more and more apparent as the song goes on that he really just wants to get his rocks off, getting to the line of "knock me down and i'll just come back running" makes it pretty explicit. At this point we now his motivations are for himself, purely, and when this is ascertained about anyone in terms of anything, the content of their words and intentions must be called into question.
In short, i think this is less a song about anal sex or anal sex as a metaphor for leaning about yourself, than it is a character study of the narrator, similar to sober, meant to portray (condemn?) the sexual insistence of the male psyche.
