As it may seem to be about kinkyness at first, I now totally believe this song is about the narrator's urge for casual sex being suppressed by religion.
When asking if casual sex is irrational, he is told yes.
The feeling of sex is nothing possible, perhaps because there is no way the narrator will ever be able to hit up a nun. (thats way too sinful)
"they're into robes and gloves, goblet glass and crosses."
they're religious folk, he'll never get any with them.
"the sound of her voice, and the handle of the robe are getting thinner as the whip begins to speak"
the beautiful attributes of this lady are disappearing (getting thinner), because the whip (religion), is telling him that these desires are wrong.
"the nun just strikes a pose. the soldier's helmet hits the floor. he's walking backward until he's pinned against stained glass."
the narrator is taken back by this ladies beauty, but he can't escape the boundaries of church rule. (stained glass=thwe windows in church.)
on a completely different note, I saw the faint in Philly last night, it was fucking amazing!!!!!!
:mosh:
