The poem describes attending a beheading at a courtyard where the trees are painted with blood. It references eating and drinking as well as feeling like a butterfly and panic. The star of the show rushes in, feeling like a child but looking like a woman, and was predicted to attempt suicide, though the ending was not well-received. Picking skin and scales, the speaker sees their horror reflected in another's blank stare. It repeats the references to a game and eating/drinking.

Eat Me, Drink Me
In the wasteland On the way to the Red Queen... It's no wonder our stage clothes Have dreams to be famous. The trees in the courtyard Are painted in blood, So I've heard. She hangs the headless Upside down to drain. EAT ME, DRINK ME EAT ME, DRINK ME This is only a game, This is only a game I was invited to A beheading today. I thought I was a butterfly Next to your flame. A rush of panic and The lock has been raped. This is only a game, This is only a game... But then our star rushes in, Feeling like a child and looking Like a woman... She has been forecast with an Attempt to kill herself, But the ending didn't test well. I was invited to A beheading today. I thought I was a butterfly Next to your flame. A rush of panic and The lock has been raped. This is only a game, This is only a game... EAT ME, DRINK ME EAT ME, DRINK ME This is only a game, This is only a game. But then our star rushes in, Feeling like a child and looking Like a woman... She has been forecast with an Attempt to kill herself, But the ending didn't test well. So picking my skin And my scales. I see my horror Reflected in the Sundown of your Blank stare. I see my horror Reflected in the Sundown of your Blank stare. EAT ME, DRINK ME EAT ME, DRINK ME This is only a game, This is only a game.
