My immediate thoughts about this was about her partner being unfaithful. I don't have any doubts that I'm completely wrong, but here are my ideas anyhow

"I know it, I can't feel it Well, I know it enough to believe it And I know it, I can't see it But I know it enough to believe it"

She can tell she's lost him, even if he's acting like everythings back to normal. OR she can tell she's loosing him, and even though she can't see any proof, she knows that he's been with someone else

"bitter you, bitter me My better half has bitten me bitter you, bitter me"

Her boyfriend has thrown everything in her face by sleeping with someone else, and they're now both bitter

"Sleeping with my enemy Myself Myself"

She hates herself for staying with this man

"The pieces of Jennifer's body Found pieces of Jennifer's body Found pieces of Jennifer's body"

This could be about her finding out abuot the girl "Jennifer" he has cheated on her with, or finding clues

"Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep"

Maybe they are trying to start over, but she can't stop thinking abuot what he did and is trying to stop thinking about it

"You're hungry, but I'm starving"

Their relationship may have been strained, and he might have gone to this Jennifer because he was lonely, but she was more lonely

"He cuts you down from the tree He keeps you in a box by the bed Alive, but just barely"

She feels used and alone and her partner keeps her "in a box by the bed" keeps her shut away and doesn't take pride in her

He said, "I'm your lover, I'm your friend I'm purity, hit me again"

He made her promises, he told her he would be her lover and her friend and be true to her, "pure" and yet when she is angry at him when she finds out about Jennifer he is either arrogant and says he is "pure, hit me again" because it won't matter to him, or that he still loves her, and that he doesn't care if she tries to hurt him

"With a bullet, number one, kill the family, save the son Himself Himself"

He has killed their relationship, but he only cares about himself

"Just relax, just relax, just go to sleep Now you're mine..."

She is again trying to relax and stop thinking about his betrayal, reminding herself he may have been with someone else but he's her's now, and trying to convince herself she shouldn't worry about it anymore

I think you got it right.thats what i got out of the song as well. It has nothing to do with rape or murder. Although, the love and trust is raped and murdered...
