I actually think it's about his anima (the unconscious of the male which finds expression as an inner feminine personality, conversely, the unconscious of the female finds expression as an inner masculine personality (animus)) and the ultimate struggle (like everyone else in this World) to find a balance between the conscious and the unconscious (we must never be apart). I think in this song, the anima is the whore, the murder in his world, the lover in his bed, the gun to his head, the one that drinks mercury to the mystery of all that it should ever seek to find, dresses coffins for the souls left behind and in the anima he feels dirty and can taste god (Eastern Philosphy focuses on the way in which to find your inner god). I think he is talking about the deep dark urges that we all have - ever had a sudden urge to hit someone or have a lucid violent dream? These urges/dreams are considered to be the messages or language of the unconscious.
