This song is a thinly veiled commentary on society's rejection of homosexual relations. The line "you're made to feel as if your love's a crime" references the illegalization of homosexuality in many of the world's (mostly Islamic) countries.
Totally agree with what your reading, except, it isn't only Islamic countries where such intolerance exists. I grew up in a gay neighborhood and I had quite a few friends and others that I knew who werre victims of 'gay bashing'. Ever since I was young I have read into the song's 'darkness' line as referencing to homophobia and/or intolerance.
