this song is about a little girl who is molested by her father..and then she cuts and eventually kills herself. hence the ''digs the shiv..'' and the father feels the guilt and knows the suicide is his fault because ''The guilt she manifests so deep inside you
That your thin veneer of catechism can no longer hide'' ...meaning his christianity can't save him from his guilt for doing that to his own daughter. when it says ''Celebrating her exit
From the benign sense of self she once knew
Raising her heavy glass
(Raising her heavy glass)
Her cup now spills on her skirt
And as she cuts her knees in the dirt'' they mean she is about to kill herself and she is sort of relieved, because she is going to be benign (innocent and sweet) again. the cup spilling on her skirt refers her death coming..and relates in a subtle way to Jesus at the last supper. ''writhe and burn father you were''..he was a father to her until he did this..now he should burn for it. yep. that's pretty much all i know..andrew schwab is my freaking hero dudes..amazing.
