The band themselves said it's based on "Where The Wild Things Are." It's about loving someone so much you'd be willing to hurt yourself or hurt them to keep them forever. It's specifically based on the line, "Please don't go. We love you so. We'll eat you whole."
All of this stuff about drugs and cannibalism is stupid. The band wrote an abstract song about an abstract topic. Obsessive love, folks, that's all it is.
all I see is love like a sexual canibalistic tradition of treating each and every part of a lover's body part like a cannibal but one who is inloved. Did you know that some afrikans have the tradion of eating their loved one. This is how I see it, just evolving physicaly, and I'm thinking just about exchanging fluids and treating eachother like dinner. I don't like that...It's disgusting to my bone marrow, phew...

Wow, I never realised it was literally about Maurice Sendak's novel. I mean I knew it contained a reference. I was always under the belief it was about a domestic relationship gone sour ending in deadly consequences. And I'm not just interpreting from the video either but actually the lyrics.

In other words, it sounds like someone is paranoid of losing his 'soulmate' who feels domesticity isn't all it is. So when she lashes out at him.. in a streak of paranoia, he begs her to stay only to end up murdering her in the end.

Germanine, disinfect the scene..
I've always looked at that line as the moment he realizes what he's done and he's trying to clean up his tracks, essentially. The ending stanzas..
Please don't go! Please don't go! Please break my heart!!
...was basically him remembering the fallout after all was said and done.
So I agree with the obsessive love. But I feel it ended in deadly consequences. In other words, domestic violence gone wrong.

Definitely makes sense when you read the book or watch the movie
