I think this song is from the perspective of a male prostitute.
Caught you looking at my reflection
This is not the way we procreate - He knows the john is checking them out, nobody wants to have kids with a prostitute
Give me something else than affection
Swollen suffering fantasy of hate - prostitution isn't about affection, just sex.
You're a pretty face
You should like me
I wanna get used by you
Cause I'm full of hate
Just excite me
I wanna get bruised by you - The prostitute is saying that they want the john to pick them up, they hate themselves for what they do.
The murder that marks you every day
The stain on your soul won't wash away
We spit on the cross just like we're trained
We scowl and screw away the pain - Both the john and the prostitute know what they're doing is wrong, but they don't care/stopped caring
"But i'm up for it if you are handsome. Let's keep that morningstar burning." - That's the john's voice
You're a party boy
You should like me
I wanna get used by you
Cause I'm unemployed
Just to spite me
I wanna get bruised by you - same as last chorus, basically.
When you burn in hell
They remind you
Of all the things you screwed up in your life
I'll be one of them
If you're inclined to
Turn away from the ever-glowing light - The prostitute is saying if he goes throough with it and finds a john they're both going to hell.
You're a pretty face
You should like me
(All I want is to see through you
If only you were alive I could trust you)
I wanna get used by you
Cause I'm full of hate
Just excite me
(But now alone in your bed we'll prove
you do not have to love to be in pain too)
I wanna get
You should lie with me
The truth is, you should lie with me - and same thing as the chorus again.
