"Let not your hold be so tight,
She'll return in the morning,
If you give her the night."
This gives me the sense of being suffocated (as in an overprotective/overjealous relationship) and restricted. Wanting freedom, not to escape, but to have breathing room.
"Madraykin is she suffering?
Is she suffering?
Madraykin is she suffering?"
This seems to simply ask (the question is directed to the abuser, Madraykin) if he's causing her (the victim, "she") pain. Quite simply: "Are you hurting her, Madraykin?"
"Revealing her birthmark you cast out her eye,
Clipped are the wings of the angels sighs,
Revealing her birthmark you put out her tongue,
Clipped are the wings of the fairies who run."
A little more complicated here...
The word "revealing" makes me thing that "she" was hiding something and leads me to think this:
Abuser (Madraykin) limits "her" freedom and when she tries to exercise that freedom, he punishes her.
The "clipped are the wings" lines say to me that those who don't use their freedom lose it (fairies can fly, but those who choose to only run lose the use of their wings).
"How deep does she weep in your well of unkeep? "
Once again addressing Madraykin, asking how much pain he's caused "her" and how deep she's tangled in his games.
"The kiss of Madraykin will keep you from sleep."
Now speaking to "her" (the victim), telling her that Madraykin is not good for her. "Keep you from sleep," could be literally (physical abuse) or indiretly (kept awake from guilt).
Well that took a bit longer than I expected, but I think about this song a lot. To sum it up, I see (like most of you have said) an abusive relationship, perhaps not physical, but through restricted freedoms and guilt trips.
