I also think that the "eider covered in oil" line refers to himself being the vulnerable target, and the "double-faced carnivor" took advantage and hurt him badly.
I think the song as a whole is about being hurt so badly that you are afraid to love again, hence the title 'Romanticide' e.g. anti-romance and the line "till love do me part" e.g. love will be the end of me.
