"reflect on your absence genuflect in my presence"

genuflect = to bend to one's knees, especially in worship

Maybe has something to do with a girlfriend that left him and he wants her back, but when she comes back he wants her to 'bow down' to him as if he were a god = she never should have left him?

"inoculate the innoculous" inoculate - there are several definitions, but I think that this one fits the best: 'to introduce immunologically active material (as an antibody or antigen) into especially in order to treat or prevent a disease' innocuous - adj - 1)producing no injury; 2) not likely to give offense or to arouse strong feelings or hostility

Seeing as 'innocuous' is an adjective and not a noun, I guess we'll just have to assume the adj meaning is meant in noun form...so would it mean to try to protect something that doesn't need protection?

I can't really seem to work out the rest of the lyrics right now (I've been at it for a while now), but I'm guessing it's about how he's trying to excercize control over someone that doesn't need it....

NEW THOUGHT: is it about being on drugs? "favor and aromas"

i've always thought it was about drugs, especially because of the "absorbed and collected in the glands of fatty tissues over time" line.
