I believe this song is about a man in love with a woman he cannot have. Being on fire and the burning desire are his love and lust for the woman. Second verse he is just stating that he believes he can love her more completely then the man she is with. Best verse is the third one. Were I believe the knife is his lust/love and his impulse to act on it but not being able to puts the knife through his skull. Skull meaning heart and soul. The knife both edgy and dull because it hurts him in more then one way that he cannot have her. fourth verse is clear no need to explain it. And for anyone that thinks this is a song of pedophilia maybe you should see a psychiatrist to talk about that with.
