I think this song talks about sex addiction and how is destroying a couple.
The narrator talks about a "devious nature", which is obviously his sex addiction and he wants to erase it from his life. But he can't do it, since in the refrain he is saying that his broken fingers (a sign that the narrator is worn out and tired by this life) are beautiful, a thing that he says to the chick in the second verse, meaning that this life is destroying both of the persons.
Other interpretations:
"my rest between rubber, my spider shadow": i think that's a reference to latex fetish.
The "shattered dancer" is the girl to which the narrator is speaking, she, like him, is worn out by this life, but can't get out.
The part in the second verse where Karl is listing various objects, i think that he's seeing BDSM objects (a duster looks like a BDSM whip and the striper can represent the scars that intense BDSM sessions can leave), through a very childlike manner, as he's trying to re-gain some innocence, but failing.
