"Sweetie, the moon has raped me --
It has left its seeds like a tomb inside me
So I must learn to abort these feelings
This romance is bleeding..."
okay, I think I'm going to clear this up (finally). the repeated motif of "the moon has raped me" is an allusion the themes of a relationship's hidden violences coming to the surface during its painful dissolution. the moon here is a literaryl device, a metonymy implying jealousy, as the moon is illuminated through reflected sunlight.
thus, the line "the moon has raped me" is meant to communicate the ugly feelings of jealousy and resentment and the anger therein of the album's speakers (a theme that recurs throughout the album, most notably on "Making Friends and Acquaintances").
