It's a very cryptic song. But it is autobiographical. That's what makes such a good song, it's honest and she doesn't hold back the truth about her life. darkspot and Communist Spy are both right. She is trying to get the word out about sexual abuse of children because of what happen to her. In one of the tour diaries on her website she talks about a child pornography ring that was busted up and how disgusted she was with it. It was mostly the parents of the children being abused. Some parents traded their children.

"My idea? disembowelment. Their abdomen is sliced open, an incision is made into their large intestine, one end is then pulled out and threaded into a rolling device and their intestine is then slowly pulled out and rolled up like a giant spool of thread. All while they are awake and can see their entrails leave their body, much like the spirit of the children they chose to destroy." -Otep
