My take on these lyrics is almost the opposite to most of the people here, who seem tot think its about murder.
To me, it's not about murder, not in the slightest. It's about being in love and being grateful that the person you're in love with is alive.
"Your skull is red/your bones are red." When you murder someone you don't see their skull or their bones, do you? Probably not. However, everyone who is alive has a red skull and red bones, as blood is passing over them all the time.
to me, it's almost as if he's observing his partner and thinking about how much he loves her. The fact that her fingernails and clothes are red remind him of the blood which keeps her alive, "and it feels good."
The song celebrates lfe, as opposed to celebrating the killing of life....
@ManoStuart I agree with this interpretation. Definitely not about murder in my eyes ... perhaps some others just have murder too much on their minds ... scary thought!!
