I think this is about a man and a woman dating. The woman believes that when a man pursues her that he loves her because he serves her. Then when she gets married and gets the ring, he quits. He doesn’t love her anymore. He just rules over her. Her face turns to alabaster because the romance is gone and he’s just her master.. hence the reason for the most divorced initiated by women.

Nobody has picked up on the 2nd gun in the dresser drawer. He knows his wife could have another, maybe better, life without him. The gun in the closet gives his wife the option - she can use it on herself to leave life altogether, or use it on him to start a new life. The second gun is for him to use on himself if she chooses the first option. It's a love song and their love is unconditional.

Hmmm... Well we all know Kurt was famous for having multiple complex meanings behind his lyrics. I dont think anybody except Kurt himself knows EXACTLY who or what his songs are about. But anyway, here's my guess:

I really think Kurt lied about the song being completely about children with cancer. Just read the lyrics and you can figure that out... Im not saying the song isn't about that at all, I just dont think he wanted to give the whole meaning of the song away. However, since Pisces and Cancer are both zodiac...

Im not saying the song isn't about that at all, I just dont think he wanted to give the whole meaning of the song away. However, since Pisces and Cancer are both zodiac signs, i think there might be something there. Im not sure exactly what, but i think maybe the "Cancer" in this song has multiple meanings only because there is another zodiac sign mentioned.
Also, "Heart-shaped Box"? "MEAT-eating orchid"? one word... VAGINA... Go google some orchid pictures and you will find that some species of orchid very closely resemble the female reproductive gland. If you have ever heard of the vagina referred to as a "flower", it is because of the orchid's resemblence to it. As for heart-shaped box, a vagina spread open in a particular way can resemble the shape of a heart. Hence the line "locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks".
Just one more thing... I think "I was drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap" is a metaphor to represent the intensity of a "healthy" male's libido. For most men (including myself), it's almost impossible to say no to an attractive woman offering herself to you sexually. That's the "magnet"... As for the "tar-pit trap", tar is a substance similar to quicksand... Once your in, it's extemely difficult to get back out... You see where im going with this one right? If you dont... turn off your computer and go get a girlfriend... NOW
This is one of my absolute favorite Nick Cave songs. It’s a prime example of Nick’s ability to keep you mesmerized by telling a dark and apocalyptic story. The imagery here (“Lynch mobs/Death Squads/Babies being born without brains”) is so memorable. “The tears that we will weep today will all be washed away by the tears that we will weep again tomorrow…” Nick has a real way with words.

I have to say, though, that I prefer the version on Live Seeds. Some minor lyrical changes in that version are an improvement…for example “And the walls ran red around me/And washed me all away” instead of “A warm arterial spray.” The version on Live Seeds is brilliant. You can really feel the way Nick commands an audience.
