This song i clearly about self-mutilation ("Scratch my leg with a rusty nail"), boredom ("Whole days throwing sticks into streams") and suicidal wishes (quite clearly).
I love this song and to me the lines "I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation" have to do with Richeys conviction that whatever you do (and like to do), it will be bored down and become a routine (a vicious circle no-one can escape from).
