My interpretation of this song isn't so literal. The way I see it, it's using metaphors to describe a situation of blind faith. More specifically, doing a bunch of horrible stuff because your "friend" tells you to. And in the end, you find out they never were really a friend and just using you, and then they turn on you in the end.
Makes me think of a lot cliques in high school and such where some poor kid will do anything to get into a group, and they basically just use them for their own sick amusement. Make fun of them and such. And the person's so blinded by their desires to be accepted, they don't realize what they're doing and that they're gonna end up in a similar situation if they continue to follow out with these people. I've actually seen this happen with one of my friends, it was horrible.
The birthday party scene gives it a kind of false innocence, much like a lot of teasing and bullying might be viewed by some kids. They don't see anything wrong with it because they're just "playing around" and "having fun", but it can be extremely harmful, like a massacre.
So that's just what's always come to mind when I hear this song. Awesome music.
