Beautifully written song.

To me it's about Domestic Violence, "she thought burnt skin would please her lover, to keep love alive and lust aside." I.e. she'll take anything from him just so the love remains and the sexual side of it is put off.

"The love she sought through faltering thought"... lovely line and shows that she's looking for this love that isn't even there.
