This song is NOT a parady. First of all, a parady is meant to be funny by definition, which this is not. Secondly, try looking up interviews with Andrew and you'll see what it really means.
Think of it like that chick from Animaniacs who loves animals so much she wants to squeeze them. It's about that all consuming, passionate love where all you want to do is get closer to that person. It's a magnified version of pinching someone's cheeks or hugging someone tightly. Imagine if that type of love happened to a sociopath? That's what this song is. Take that feeling of a normal person and multiple it and you get a killer who wants to become one with his loved one.
Although it is disturbing, it's also beautiful. Those lyrics combined with the ethereal music is so horribly touching. And I think that's another important aspect of the song -- the contrast between the physical horror that goes on and the beautiful way it's told.
Actually, parody is NOT necessarily meant to be funny. It's supposed to exaggerate certain elements of something to create an over-blown version of it, which this does.

parodies aren't always meant to be funny, but regardless of humor the song is still not a parody.
