This song is about being gothy, or acting dark and sinister, to get attention and affection. Listen to his campy singing as he makes dark, over-the-tops hints in the beginning. When he says "hurt people hurt people," he's hinting at a wounded self behind his bitter exterior. And he gives it away with "Oh, I've been entered by evil, so someone best love me right now." He's saying that he's faking all this darkness so people will be intrigued. I think this is a great song about something I've literally heard another song about- a great offbeat track.
