Damn, love this song. Tied for favorite with "Filth" and "Embryo" on the album. This song has such a great switch from Kyo's breathy falsetto to the head-banging chorus. It melds perfectly and I think that it really showcases their talent.
As for the meaning of the song, I have a couple theories. In agreement with Gothique-san, I concur that this is one meaning. To add on to that, though, I think Kyo is playing both the victim and the "killer" simultaneously. In the chorus, he talks about being a "child fragile as glass" and how he stabs himself with the fragments...of himself. I thought that was a nifty little play there. Anyway, what I think is that although he enjoyed the pain on himself, he also wanted to have others feel his pain. Hence, the "killer" persona. But on the flip side, you could argue that he's the victim watching his own death, totally getting off on his own brutal murder. Kinda interesting, I think....
