The song is actually a conversation between Oli and Satan (Lucifer the Lightbearer). Now, many people get into the idea that song was intended for a singular person (girlfriend, preacher..), however we forget that Satan is an actual person, he's just not human.
"No one wants to hear you
No one wants to see you
So desperate and pathetic
I'm begging you to spare me
The pleasure of your company"
-It's true. If anyone were to truly have the most evil entitity in the universe speaking to them or appearing before them, they'd want him gone. He is often a desperate a pathetic spirit, always trying to bring what he hates (humanity) down.
"When did the diamonds leave your bones?"
-In Ezekiel 28:12-18, you can find a description of what Lucifer's created intention was and a general description of what he looked like. (He was made of Diamond's and other precious stones). He was made the most powerful and wise of all the angels and was praised before his fall. At the very instant he fell, he became horrifying, ugly and a stain against anything good. He was no longer made of diamond.
You're not a shephard, you're just a sheep
A combined effort of everyone you meet
You're all flesh with no bone.
Feed them to the sharks and throw 'em to the wolves!
Satan is not a shepherd despite his attempt to look like one and ultimately he is a sheep and his created purpose was to serve God. He attempted to manipulate everything against God (A combined effort of everyone you meet) and prefers to care about everything we as humans shouldn't care about, sin of the flesh (You're all flesh with no bone). (Sins of the flesh refers to any physical stimulus that gives you pleasure, could be murder, sex or drugs and all three at once..). Oli rebukes him and shows his anger towards Satan (Feed them to the sharks and throw 'em to the wolves!)

Edit: This really is a fantasy interpretation. As much as I would like to match the song with theology, it's unlikely my description is relevant.
