Woah, I'm actually quite surprised no one has commented on this song yet. Well.
What I think is that this song is about a young woman who used to be nice and "pure", let's say, a virgin who barely even thought about sex until a guy comes by and has sex with her and that completely changes her.
But the thing here is that she's probably been taught from a young age that sex is bad and has not been told that she could feel lust (she's probably from a religious family? I don't know) and she starts feeling dirty and confused. When she understands she's feeling lust, she starts grows anger for the young man that "ruined" her pure life, goes crazy and either drowns herself in the river or kills the guy and throws his body to the river. See:
"Since I met you I've been crazy/Since I've been with you I've been lost" He changed something inside her and she does not fully understand it (AKA she's feeling lust)
"Have I lost my mind?" As she doesn't understand lust, she thinks she is simply crazy.
"Nights avoiding things unholy/Your hand slips across my skin" She used to be "virgin pure" until he came along
"When you're young you always take what you can get... But I am not alive" this whole fragment is about her realising that she's feeling lust and expressing her hatred for how easily she feels it now that she's been initiated sexually. This makes her terribly depressed, she doesn't feel alive anymore. She feels she's not worth anything now that she's sinned.
"Follow me down to the river, man/I'll be down here on my knees" She kills herself on the river or throws her lover's corpse in it. Being down on your knees is a symbol of repenting your sins, so basically she's saying that this is her way of showing God that she's repented.
So finally, I think this song is about how catholic religion and it's ideas about sex can fuck a person up terribly, to the point of making a person feel like they're worthless monsters for doing and feeling natural things.
@honestlywhat this entire song is about youthfulness, nievity and sex. When she was young, she took what she could get... That's about masturbation. Bicycles, water jets in sprinkler form. She fell in love and is now figuring it all out. But she's still young and can't completely handle the new feelings and may be obsessed. But follow me down to the river aka vagina and cunninglingus, she'll be on her knees aka fellatio. The whole line about being dead? Lol in French orgasm is called me petit Mort. The little death. Death=orgasm
