Wow.. I would totally have fallen for the plastic surgery interpretation.. but just what did 'Swedishwhat?' find.. Wonderfull..
From the interview with Jamie:
"..At the time the song was written we were not in a relationship but having crazy sex -- there was lots of blood. It's also about deep regret and that, sometimes, deep regret is hot."
from the song:
"it would be a strange delite
no eyes no nose no mind"
I still think the plastic surgery, as Kittensincement pointed out, is there, but it is made for the delight of being cut..
"oh how can you love a tiny bug impressed
by the night when you cut yourself?
save me save me"
The tiny bug understands your feeling of power when prove you can cut yourself.. how lovely is that..
"your body rotten as the last melon on the vine
pull your shirt down
save me save me"
Her "Body rotten" is her self hate, which Jamie wants his share of.. propably because he's so used to hating himself, that he needs to fortify the feeling not to feel out of place..
"press my thumb onto your tongue"
Make me make you feel like it's hard to breath and to swallow.. literally. some people do anything to feel, to feel anything at all..
"the white poem of self hate stays with you
even though you know a chance to cut
is still a chance to cure
pull your legs apart"
if one hates himself for wanting to cut himself with a knife, he eventually becomes frustrated about hating something that hasn't happened, then nothing makes one more proud of himself than proving that it can actually be done..
carrying ones self hate in proud scars of the body, may feel better than hating and fearing ones own mind.. "Pull your legs apart" is because she has found out that proving her selfhate gives her pleasure, and found out a new way of hating herself, that is, connecting the knifeplay and sex. the cycle strenghtens and may be dangerous.
