This one is a tricky one to interpret. I feel like this is about something that once was and has since been corrupted in a way that can\'t be feasibly reversed. Perhaps this is a higher power? A society? It could even be an emotion or illness caused from "something wicked". What is clear in the song is the parallel between a positive and negative perspective towards something. "Loving" and "Hating", "And it gnawed" and "And it clawed", similarities between sentences representing that it\'s towards the same or a similar thing yet have different emotions and meanings. It\'s also good to note that the negative perspectives always come after the positive ones in the song, hinting that something became negative/corrupt. This parallel is also clear in the musical flow of the song, starting soft and calm, not quite happy, but more mourning what used to be. Then the song get\'s louder and more intense when directed at the most obvious negative parallel, symbolizing what it is now, something wicked.
