This song is a reference to the Swedish vampire book (now a film) 'Låt den rätte komma in' or 'Let the Right One In'.
The book is about a shy 12 year old boy named Oskar that is pushed around by bullies at school. Oskar is obsessed with death (collecting obituaries, news clippings and such) and has potential to someday be dangerous.
One night a girl named Eli and an old man move in to his apartment complex. He gradually makes friends with her and finds out she is a vampire and that the old man bleeds people to feed her.
One night he accidentally sees Eli naked in her bathroom and sees a horizontal scar on her groin (and that Eli was originally a he). Eli encourages Oskar to stand up for himself and fight the bullies. In the end he faces his fears and because of Eli embraces friendship and lets go of his obsession with death.
So, this song is from Eli's perspective and follows Oskar's journey. Also the song title is Lycanthropy which is the cryptozoological term for vampirism.
Hi, this is unrelated to discussing this song's meaning, but I just made this account to say thanks for mentioning that movie Låt den rätte komma in/ Let the Right One In!!! I just watched it and now I need to go read the book. Anyone reading this should go watch it too.

If you don't mind do you have any other movie suggestions? Thanks again!
