As for the ending with the gasoline, either he drinks it and dies to be with her, or burns the scene of his crimes.

i am parker lewis: stop being such an elitist bitch.
Anyway, I believe this song is about the character max (remember this is supposed to be a concept album) watching someone elses [mentally] abusive relationship. The relationship seems to be between a young woman who crookedly admires a much older "middle-aged" man. The man takes advantage of the girl as Max watches obsessively, wishing he could do something, knowing its wrong.
This is where my interpretation goes a little crazy, but its what I believe.
I think that Max kills her, thinking it the only way to get close to her, blaming it on the man. "I have in faith in you, child. From HIS nightmares I’ve plucked a plan. Where that prick to the world is revealed as a wicked man."
He then lives out whatever fantasies he had with the dead girl. Not to be sick, but thats how I see it> "If only you could see me, we’d dance like a heart attack""If only you’d start breathing, I’d court you exclusively. With my shovel I’m pounding earth ‘til suddenly I see You awake from the dirt and the grime ...filled with fire and finally mine"

i like this. a lot. its more straightforward than what some people are interpreting, but i think this makes more sense and seems like something he would write. Max seems to like to explore those strange feelings that others wont talk about.
