At first I thought the lyrics were aimed at a rapist, like an angry letter towards the rapist of a family member or something...But I think it's actually about the loss of virginity. Perhaps sex between children, on a more grotesque level. I seems like a Xiu Xiu-y topic.
"a deep lack of guilt and
a fools sense of love"
They're kids and thus not ashamed of their sexuality, with no true concept of 'love'.
"greased and unclean" referring to sexual fluids.
"a boyhood slipping in blood" - they're both virgins; her hymen breaks, and "boyhood" shows he's not a "man" yet.
The title makes me think of the piano monsters from Mario 64. Random, but I know Jamie's into Nintendo so it's not too far-fetched. Not sure how it connects to the subject matter though.
