Actually, I think SW would throw this song as a complete opposite to the theme for a certain reason.
I don't think this song has anything to do with the theme*, but morely has to do with SW's feelings towards the music industry (which is bleedingly obvious on the veneer). If you take a deeper look into the general theme of the album, it's talking about a rapist/serial killer, that seems to be the general concensus. From my knowledge of the music industry, not too many artists have chosen this type of theme for their albums, probably straying away from the grotesque and disgusting sides. But maybe SW has chosen this to directly spite the new-age sets of music. He may be possibly telling the music industry as a whole to go fuck themselves with their choice in music. He is choosing to show the world that he can make beautiful music out of real world topics, and real world imagery rather than bubble-gum and unicorn pop-songs.
Maybe I'm off base. That's just what it means to me.
*I put this here intentionally to throw in another interpretation. If it is meant to be the inner workings of the crazy's head, possibly he is a musician that is getting destroyed by terrible music, and the terrible choices of the music producers.
