This song seems to be about stalking, specifically unrequited love. The interesting part is that the lyrics grow more ominous as the song progresses:
I'll take your apathy
I wouldn't lie to you Blossom
Won't you let it go
I'm gonna give you all you want
It almost looks like a plea for "Tigerlily" to love this person, as they have so much to offer. "Let it go" implies that Tigerlily has rejected their love, and thus comes the chorus:
I know you better than this
<I have so much to offer>
<In fact, I know that you are just burning for a kiss>
Psychobabble all upon your lips <... even though you deny it>
The love continues to get turned down, and it gets even more obsessive / threatening:
I don't like the taste Of their morality
<I know that people don't like it>
You'll find your bread and your butter Where you fake it
<and I'm sure you enjoy denying us>
And put your face in the gutter Of a snake pit
<but it will come back to bite you>
When Tigerlily continues to turn the person down, the person makes even more insistent statements:
But our communication Is telepathy <but I know you really love me>
And we can wait til the shadow grows long <we can keep it a secret if you like...>
And it finally reaches the point of obsession / creepiness:
And if they can't have you
They'll never let you walk away

It's definitely an interesting song.
