Manqito, how can you be so condescending and then proceed to write complete gibberish?
The only person who can really understand this song is the author. Sean is a very creative guy but sometimes his lyrics just don't make much sense. There are often many contradictions in the songs that aren't telling a linear story. This makes deciphering the meaning very difficult.
That said, I come away from this song with a very different interpretation. I really see this as the story of a serial killer who preys on severely depressed women.
To really explain how I came up with this I would have to go line by line. Don't really want to do that. But take a look at the lyrics again with my view in mind.
Some key lines:
"Can't help but adore each one he's torn
From the pores of the face of the earth's core"
"Slaughter of the meak
The Godly technique
The monster march is to a different beat"
And lastly, "Take her away before She (God) takes her
away"
This line got me thinking of the killer as something, I don't know, more than human. Like a deamon or the Devil maybe. He's in a sort of competition with God.
I admit I might be completely wrong. Maybe later I'll write more supporting my argument. Let me know what you think.
I agree with you Leeson, but I also have some agreements with mischiefisagame.

I think when the guy found the girl he was orginally hoping to save her, like mischiefisagame said, but he found that she was just to damn gone already to be saved. So he went on with his manipulative ways like Leeson was getting to. Heres some of my thoughts and back ups with the lines:

That shows that he wants to mess with her, because he's got her right where he wants her and he has full grasp on her.
"Look I've gone and captured the mortal"
He's got what he wanted, and he has full control on the mortal (her)
"Wouldn't be what it was if the prey wasn't weak"
Her refers to her as the prey, and a prey is something/someone being hunted. That shows he wants to hunt her and ruin her, rather than save her. If it's his prey or victim, he wants to mess with her. But if he referred to her as his mission, or motivation, he'd be saving her.
"She don't love herself no more
Won't be nobody elses whore
No one like him spoke before"
She is so use to being used by men, she refuses to let them use her now. But she thinks this guy is different because he actually speaks to her, hence the last line "No one like him spoke before." The other guys just used her physically, while this guy is using her with words. Trying to trick her, or hypnotize her with his speech. So she believe he is different and will save her.
"Think about the sound of relief that surrounds you
You were already gone before I found you"
She's finally dead, physically, but it's saying that she was mentally dead a long ass time ago. So there was never really any hope for her.

Just an opinion. What do you guys think?
