In my opinion, this song is about rape and the concequences-in this case a child.
'if she paints her lips scarlet can you do it again?' is asking the rapist that if the woman that he raped and left pregnant is still an attractive victim to him, and after the child is born, could he rape her again. It's probably the thoughts of the woman in labor, and she fears that once the child is born she'll be a victim again.
'midwinter season, the butterflies dying everything a snowy landscape
you crawl up out from inside the well the woman laughing loudly' Kyo uses pathetic fallacy to set the scene. autumn and winter are the seasons of death-more so november then any other month. The woman has had her child and is driven mad by the fear that she will be a victim again-hense the repition of the word 'victimization' in the chorus. She also has a deep hatred for the chils because of its conception.
'let your sexual desires bloom let the woman's corpse bloom
let your desires for pregnancy bloom let next year's spring bloom
let your own desires bloom let's bloom in Kyoto '
Concidering the use of winter in the previous verse/bridge the woman killed herself after deciding she would rather die then be raped again. Kyo uses pathetic fallacy again with 'spring' which is the season of rebirth and fertility-which suggests the rapist found a new victim and impregnated her too. The dires blooming in Kyoto just gives the song a setting-as well as the woman wearing a Yukata, he's putting it within a time setting of when Kyoto was the capital when, of course, no one could get abortions and had to live with the concequences of their actions and a rapist couldn't just use a comdom.
