Hmm, interesting song. To me its saying that someone has taken everything that they ever liked about themselves away and all that is left for them is the pain to make them feel alive. Hence the line:

"But to get to know this macicist Who has stolen my first name"

it is that thats the only thing that gives them any satisfaction anymore. Without pain they are dead to the world.

Any other views?
