okay, first of all, whatever the song means to you- run with it. That's what music is about. None of us wrote the song so we can't REALLY know what its about. I always thought of the song as meaning that he wants another person to show they are a real person with emotions etc., but after reading the post about self harm I can see where they are coming from as well. Due to the good lovers line and references to staring into someone's soul, I still believe he meant it to be about what I said earlier, but if you find meaning in it as a song about self-harm, then that's great. Music is deeply personal...go with what you relate to.
