This song is obviously a bullet sent flying towards rightwing American Catholics. Their hypocrisy is well-known. There are extremely severe regulations in certain towns in the Bible Belt (Bible rules the daily life in very extreme ways sometimes)
Seems to me to be a song about a girl who has been abused by some overreligious stepfather or a preacher.
Look at the hatred with which she 'slams' the knife into the several parts of his body.
And she is obviously driven by madness. Totally broken down there is a voice inside her that forces her to end it all. She feels dirty and used and her soul can never be redeemed (hopelessness induced by the fear of never being forgiven by the fearsome God they worship).

Have you been to the Bible Belt? I agree many people are hypocritical, but which towns are you referring to? None that I've been to, and I live here.
