I don't think this song is about self harm at all! Here's my interpretation of the song:
Push me up against the wall
Young kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Fallin' all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health
--Anthony doesnt feel as young as he used to be; he tries to get rid of this with this young, healthy girl to make himself feel better
Blood loss in a bathroom stall
Sounthern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave goodbye to ma and pa
--a young girl who has just had her first period, she's growing up and now the time is moving closer when she has to leave her parents and make it on her own.
Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl
Autumn's sweet we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if i have to crawl
--often when people get older, they're not as quick to get loud and violent-they tend to think before they act, that describes the first three lines, but I'm not sure what the fourth one means
Scar tissue the I wish you saw
Sarcastic Mister know it all
close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause'
With the bird I'll share
This loney view
--he wishes that people would see that he isnt really as tough as he appears to be, perhaps 'sarcastic mister know it all' is a description of himself, or at least the image of himself that everyone seems to have
he just wants to have someone to love (close your eyes and I'll kiss you)
and lastly, he feels lonely--he feels that no one on earth can understand him-the birds that fly high in the sky, who see everything from a totally different perspective are the only ones who really know his pain.
Overall, I think this song is about how anthony is getting older, he's sad because he still hasn't found anyone who he really connects with and who really understands him. He's also worried, because he thinks that he wont find that person in time, possibly because of his false image of toughness of him that he's put out, he wants people to know that he's only human and wants to be loved just like everyone else.
--was that a long enough description for ya?? It took a loooooong time thinking about this song for me to think that up--it could be totally wrong of course, but that's just what I think this song is about, so lemme know what you people think about it
