yeah, i think its about the loss of innocence. Theres a lot of lyrics that seem like they're about losing virginity: "If we cant make you open We will take it out in blood","At last my little flower is getting put to use", and even the "we'll make a man out of you yet" To me, the song is about a teen girl who is dating this guy and they're both virgins but the guy wants to have sex and is forceful. he probably abuses her giving low self esteem: "The insides are all useless" A friend warns her about abusive relationships but like a lot of girls do she stays with him: "thank you for the warning but i still see the sun,A little global warming Never hurt no one". The garderners coming to collect part is about him collecting (taking) her virginity.
