This song is about willing human sacrifice, literally. It's gruesome. It's a story of obsession towards something or someone divine. She's pretty straightforward with the " Cut open my sternum, and pull" she's giving her organs away...
Another point to back this up is that the album cover has a goat or a sheep on it, these are animals commonly used in a sacrifice ritual.
The music video also backs this up.
She's not singing about her "soul" she means literally her innards to be spilt out into the floor in front of the shrine. This song is about pure devotion, and inflicting self harm to express it. Because blood is the most vital thing you could give away.
She's so infatuated with this being that she happily sacrifices her body, that's why she sounds so nice when she's singing, she's at peace.
But this song is so much darker and scary than people take it for.
@TasteTheWake Yup. Ritual human sacrifice couldn't be clearer. It boggles my mind that people take this as a love song. Like what kinda relationship you gotta be in to make THAT connection?

@TasteTheWake The fetus theory is sweet, but you may be more on point. Gotta go watch that video WITHOUT MY DAUGHTERS.
