I think it's got a strong sexual/carnal theme to it. I love to compare this song to a transformation, like a werewolf or some other supernatural change.
There's a cult, there's a cult inside of me
Form a salt, sprinkle it around me - Salt keeps away the supernatural... Her desire isn't normal. Its extreme to the point where she feels like she's possessed or ready to mutate.
sleep is a welcome gadget
in our headbondhood
the crawling animals will seek
all things warm all things moist
I will relentlessly shame myself
in rest in wake in front of
my truly born beloved
for here I lie in wait
hush little heart
The animals seeking out moist/warm thing sounds to me like people or beings seeking out things to feed on or pleasure themselves with. She found her victim/partner and is waiting. Shame because she's on the hunt, she can't control herself.
the creeper's blood is seeping
from this undead wooden headboard
varnish my forehead red in evening
drip down over my jowls
bid them writhe and sprout their
heavy feathers lift my drooping heart
I don't have a really strong theory on this verse but I would say it's somehow part of the kill and her heart is heavy with remorse after the event/attack.I think the "creeper's blood" is hers, but like the last verse said, she's ashamed so she won't even call it her own blood.
into a bright bound sea surrounded fury
our bodies will return
"Our bodies will return" sounds like that rest period after great sex or some kind of snap back to reality/human form. The first line makes it sound like a graphic and powerful change.
That's all I really have for now... All in all, I'm leaning more towards a werewolf theme. But most of the other songs on the album have some real life attachment to them so this is just my imagination.
