Amazing song. It seems crass on the surface, but I think the lyrics evoke a sexual metaphor in place of death, or becoming one with that which binds us all--God, the universe, the energy that runs through us all. It feels like she is making a statement that she will settle for nothing less than absolute oneness, wholeness with the metaphysical, separate from the body.
"I am so human so small so debased, jealously and darkness rule over this place" is clearly about the failures and imperfections of life on earth, if one believes in original sin. It's ultimately about wanting to be one with the divine, and she uses sex as a rather twisted metaphor, since sex is one of the few transcendent experiences we can have as humans.
