This is such a beautiful song! A lot of their more thought provoking songs make me think about the death of love, the loss of innocence, and the uncaringness of youth today. And that's exactly what this song makes me think of.
He seems to be saying it's a cruel world, where snakes are just waiting to get a piece of an innocent girl's soul. Everything is business as usual "three hundred and fifty, no thank you's and nobody flinches". And of course, the bad guys are on the same team. They're hounding her to make her say what they want to hear until she's lost her grace. Now another innocent is corrupted.
And it seems that things wouldn't need to be so bad if everyone was reasonable, but that doesn't matter they're "ambitiously vicious" and will do anything to get what they want. And the fact that he says neither of them have it, makes me think that they just want their misery, which is really what those "serpent soul pinchers" are--happiness haters. I love when he says "and whyyyyy leave her on herrrrr oooown"
