Hmm...I'd have to say this song is about how, well let me set up the scenario. A guy (David Draiman, since he's the singer) has very little significance to someone, and this other person is real complacent, full of themself, thinking they don't need anyone. But then a time comes when they really do need someone, and that person is the singer. The singer helped them, but won't open up to them, because they don't really think the person they are helping really wants them for anything more than the present moment of need, thus, 'am i precious to you now' only that i am helping you. the singer tells them to turn from the shame of their life and just open up, thus they are helping that person, but they know that once the parasite gets what they want, the singer will be just more dust in the wind again. But through this the singer gets a little attached to the person, and they end up really helping each other out a little bit. But, perhaps I am way off. That's just how I interpret it.
