I really think the whole song is a metaphor for birth. I know it doesn't make sense for every line in the lyrics, but I really can relate to the interpretation of it. A birth has something violent to it, which is really what the song sounds like. A violent act of forcing a soul into a ephemeral body, doomed to die slowly in it. It is a very dark interpretation of life itself...
