I thought my stomach would explode when I first heard the intro of this song. It sounds sooo wonderful.
Anyway, without repeating what is already said I want to add a personal thought about it: It's in general a kind of love song. The protagonist of the song fell in love with a woman, but he knew that he would never be able to be together with her ("You and I - Connection failing"). So he murdered her and kept her corpse at home, that's where the song starts. He looks at her dead body and starts to touch it. He can even get into the wounds with his hands, which is way closer then he would be able to a living body ("I drill down inside"). In other words: He can finally do what he would have never been able to when she was alive.
It's very sick on the on hand, but on the other hand a very beautiful and intensive description of love which also shows the desperation you have when this love isn't returned. How far you would like to go just to fulfill this dream.
Lyrically and musically one of the best songs I've ever heard.
