Actually, having personally known alot of rape victims, I think that's what this is about, the after effects on one's personality. The first verse hints at that well enough, whereas the last line could almost be sarcastic. I know I've heard constantly of attackers with close relationships to victims trying to calm them during the act. The second stanza seems to hint at sexual addiction, which is a common behavior after the fact, as is the self mutilation that kind of seems to come through in the third verse. I haven't figured out if it's from the point of the victim or the observer though. It kind of seems like the fourth verse could be saying that the person that did this to the speaker had it happen to them too. Since Justin usually writes about psychological traumas and such, this makes sense to me, but IDK if it will to anyone else.
