Okay, now I have a greater insight on the album now that I've read more interviews and read more correct lyrics.

He's said in a couple interviews now, about how the Columbine media fire had affected him. It was but one more of the circumstances that caused confusion in his mind as to who he wanted to be. He said, in one interview, "But I guess after I made The Golden Age of Grotesque and after dealing with Columbine–where I got blamed with something that I did not do–I had to deal with the [start of a] whole era which probably made [critics] like you disenfranchised. Dissatisfied. Dis-engaged, anything with “dis” in it."
So, its about the same as it meant in Overneath the Path of Misery, he is realising he was never a victim at all, and that what he'd become to escape that was a facade of sorts that he used to run away from that.
This song seems to be about him falling in love with a woman, as there are heavy references themes we've heard before:
"The day they covered us in the dirt like stars in the ground that will grow into dead flowers."
Obviously, the "us" refers to him and another person. But he's comparing them to well known figures becoming dead and idolised in the media.
"Your bodies on me like sleepless spiders. Your touch is so empty."
I find the first part to be self-explanitory. The second part seems to say that her touch doesn't quite satisfy him.
"I’ve been running from the bloodless for fear of exile for all of my sorceries that shun the light."
I'll leave this one up to someone else. I think I know what it means, but I can't explain it the way I understand it.
"I’ve been running from the bloodless for fear of exile for all of my sorceries that shun the light."
