i agree w/ darkspot. a lot of the initial meaning of the song is about her childhood and how her father abused her, how he affected her mentally, and how his influence is still affecting her. when she says things like feed my disease [the taste of fear in the seventh phase of the disease] and in tiny little houses on tiny little streets [everythings normal, everythings not ok, it's normal] voices raise and[as long as you're under my roof you will respect me] fear is alive [as long as you're under my roof you will respect me] she is speaking out against abuse. stand up and fight against it. "my offering, my suffering,(i speak to you on behalf of mankind" basically shes saying u are not alone. she knows what it feels like .
