God, you guys are freaks. It's about sex from a woman's POV.
"It lives in folds of red and steamy air" is about as precise a description of the female pudenda as you'll ever find.
"It lives in misery/Hellbound" Hellbound means she's tied (bound) to torment (hell) because she is a sexual being. The pudenda here is identified with both libido and menstruation: thus, her sex life (good and bad), her lack of one (frustration), masturbation, and menstruation.
"Oh, oh we're falling/Falling down/Down" A nice description of orgasm, but also ties, neatly, into the suffering of the "hellbound" line (isn't Hell the place below?): thus she is still pleasured and pained by her sexuality.
"It lives/despite the knives internal/It lives/marry me" You could interpret "knives internal" as an abortion, but I think it refers both to the male organ and, again, to the pain of menstruation. In spite of privation and pain, "it lives": that is, her desire. Which is why the final lyric (aside from repeated lines) is "marry me."
No, it really is about a living abortion. Kim said so in interviews.
Fun fact: Kim backed off the mic for the line 'despite the knives internal' because she felt that it was stupid. She STILL backs off the mic when they play it live now. She does the same for 'set percent' in "Off You" (a phrase omitted from the Title TK liner notes)

And, on a significant day in American history, Kim did make one Roe V. Wade comment: “This next song is an old, old song. It’s about an abortion,” she said, before launching into “Hellbound.”
