🎶 Tourniquet song analysis

The protagonist is describing his partner as a disturbingly fragile creature made of hair, bone, and teeth. He compares their love to foil, which he wants to keep fresh but flies (representing decay) will inevitably ruin it. He confesses to being a tourniquet to his partner, allowing her to figuratively bleed out her hatred on him while he keeps her from completely falling apart.
