This song is definately about S&M! The song plays with the idea of giving yourself to sexual desires. In this instance Tori is singing about how the idea of pain and punishment allows herself to be sexually free. Some examples are:
"I crossed over the line / Do I have any regrets / Well not yet"
"Some say it was pain / others say it was shame"
"Some give blood / I give love"
To me these lyrics convey how pain and pleasure are the same thing to her; that with pain she gets pleasure. Others lines like: "Soon before the sun/Before the sun begins to rise" make me think of sex and how this lifestyle has to be lived in the darkness where other people cannot judge.
And the title itself conveys the right emotion on S&M: GIVE. You gotta give yourself to it or else you cannot experience it.
