This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation.
Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.
Come and rise from your grave again
Rise above them and fight again
I'm the one you're calling
And watch me - show them all
Without me you'll be obscene
I'll save you from it all
Release your confessions
Give your life to me
Let me open your sewn shut eyes
See only me
I'm the one you're calling
And watch me - show them all
Obey me until your life is lost
Come to me with sorrow
I'll let you live again
There is no tomorrow
I am your only friend
Your time has been so sick
You're living in sorrow and pain
There is no tomorrow - take my hand
What is it inside you eating you within?
I drown in life's waters
A sea of despair
Hear me now I'm calling
So you can see the way to me
I'll leave you blind and hopeless
You should have never listened to me
Come to me with sorrow
I'll let you live again
There is no tomorrow
I am your only friend
Your time has been so sick
You're living in sorrow and pain
There is no tomorrow - take my hand
I'm the one you're calling
And watch me - show them all
Without me you'll be obscene
I'll save you from it all
Release your confessions
Give your life to me
Let me open your sewn shut eyes
See only me again
Rise above them and fight again
I'm the one you're calling
And watch me - show them all
Without me you'll be obscene
I'll save you from it all
Release your confessions
Give your life to me
Let me open your sewn shut eyes
See only me
I'm the one you're calling
And watch me - show them all
Obey me until your life is lost
Come to me with sorrow
I'll let you live again
There is no tomorrow
I am your only friend
Your time has been so sick
You're living in sorrow and pain
There is no tomorrow - take my hand
What is it inside you eating you within?
I drown in life's waters
A sea of despair
Hear me now I'm calling
So you can see the way to me
I'll leave you blind and hopeless
You should have never listened to me
Come to me with sorrow
I'll let you live again
There is no tomorrow
I am your only friend
Your time has been so sick
You're living in sorrow and pain
There is no tomorrow - take my hand
I'm the one you're calling
And watch me - show them all
Without me you'll be obscene
I'll save you from it all
Release your confessions
Give your life to me
Let me open your sewn shut eyes
See only me again

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
