In an interview with "Needle" magazine, it reads...

"Plato's Tripartite - the philosopher's theory of soul, or as Walker explains , the three part's of the human psyche: reason will and desire - is about rape culture. Specifically the Steubenville , Ohio case involving a drunk high school girl raped by her peers with the violation documented on social media, mobile texts and recordings. Similar horrors have happened in Halifax and Nashville and are far more common than just the ones that reach the media. "When the justice system fails a young girl like that, the justice system fails us all" says Walker. "We have to take some responsibility for the existence of these little ,monsters on our society because we've raised them to be immoral, and those rapes become our fault through rape culture. You're either doing something to provide against it or you're part of the problem. These are important values to instill in people before they reach their sexual age and alot of our fan base are that demographic"

so a few of your theories were right in a sense. This song speaks volumes on the subject. and the bastards that get away with shit like this.
