This Could Be Love Lyrics

The real line is "I touch myself at thoughts of flames" I believe this is referring to the homicidal triad. Many serial killers are sexually aroused by fire and it has been common for them to start fires and "touch themselves" while watching it. I think Matt Skiba knows about this and the song is probably about some serial killer. But then again, it could entirely be a metaphor for something else.
