i think this song is about gareth sucking off strangers.
"Baby I got the death rattle" - Gareth is describing the sound of him choking as the semen accumulates in his throat. ("A death rattle is a medical term that describes the sound produced by someone who is near death when saliva accumulates in the throat",)
"the girdle of venus got me got me down on my knees."
His "fate" (the whole palm-reading thing, girdle of venus) is to get "down on his knees" (and suck off other men)
And of course;
"And I chewed my only necktie, From the metal frame of my bed, Where I tied your wrists together, Spent all night givin', oh, you get the message"
So he's obviously been tying Men to his bed and spent all night giving them head
As disgusting as this is, it's probably pretty close to what Gareth was thinking about when he wrote the lyrics. He does make rather heavy hints in other songs to him giving head, so it certainly wouldn't surprise me if that's what this song's all about.

I don't think this is the case, to be honest. He seems to be addressing his ex when he says 'your wrists.'

The giving head bit in general, I think, is just what he seems to be most proud of in the relationship.

Other than that, it's just about the final stages of a relationship that has came to an end, which leads onto (on the album) Light Leaves Dark Sees pt.II

On top of that, Gareth has made it quite clear that he's heterosexual. There's an interview with The New Gay that confirms this. So it seems unlikely he'd be giving head to another man.

Yeah, I think it's pretty clearly about the end of a relationship

I think the Baby I got the death rattle line is more in reference to generally him feeling like he's dying then what's causing him to die.
The following line of "Your 6 months old, sh-shakin me" is a play on words and could just mean she's responsible for it or could refer to how she toys with him or messes him about.

but with lines like
I've been digging my grave
For quite some time
When I'm not digging up the past
And I chewed my only necktie
From the metal...

Where I tied your wrists together
Spent all night givin'
(Oh, you get the message)
it clearly indicates there's history there. I think more or less the bit about him giving head has less signifigance to the overall song as much as it is a memory. I think the song works at times like a scrapbook of memories from a failed relationship. The mentions of the stuffed bear, the red in the snow just an example of their regular difference in perspective.

The first time I saw LC! this year, Gareth introduced the song saying, "This is a song a lot of people think is about fellatio."

Which kinda seems to me like he's saying, no, it's not.
