I think it's about being suppressed by religion. There are a lot of references to religion in the song "sisters and the fathers can't save her soul" "prophets and religious shows" and "why use the word when the word means belief." I think the "sisters and fathers can't save her soul" line is slight sarcasm - you know how when someone thinks they're helping you by putting their belief system on you?
I think maybe the whole song is about the sexual side of love being denied to a person because of religious values.
