I think that despite the reputation this song's got, that it's packed with emotion and soul.
The song is about someone who is depressed, their mind is messed up, and their life crumbling away. In this case, he's a homosexual man, and hates himself because of it.
The opening lyrics is someone trying to help him, trying to tell him that it's okay, he's just like him; but because of who he believes he is, he doesn't listen, and everything sounds jumbled and corrupted.
The drop to my what he is feeling. That guttural grotesqueness symbolises how he's represented.
When the words are finally decipherable, the man understands that he's had someone there all along, as now he can hear him.
I won't end this with an "and they all lived happily ever after" haha. ;)
