I'm probably only skimming the top of the meaning of this song. I'm sure there is a deeper meaning to this song, but everytime I listen to it I get the same feeling. So whether or not this is what Otep intended the listener to feel, this is what the song means to me.
To me this song is about when everything just goes to shit and you can't deal with it anymore and take it out on everyone else. Even those you love dearly.
"I am invisible...
I'm in this mood for days..."
"You're my favorite prey
'Cause I hurt the ones I love.
You're so lovely when you cry.
You're so perfect when you lie."
"Can't you see?
I'm invisible..."
It sounds as if she's saying you can't help me, nor understand how I feel, so I can't help but take it out on you, and it's not my fault because I'm invisible to you.
"The stain still remains
And I promise you, it never goes away."
The fact that she can't deal with all of it is still there, bothering her. Hurting her.
"Fire on the sides,
Burned and bright, has arrived
Lost in flight, on golden molted wings."
"Can you see me now?"
"Now do you see?"
Something bad has happened as a result of this need of help and her loved one realises only now that she's feeling like this and that she needs help somehow, but it's too late.
