Ride the Wings of Pestilence Lyrics

Hiding behind the shadows
I'll be waiting in the dark
to drive this blade straight through your heart
I'll drag your body to the car
as blood races down my arm
I think everyone will wonder where you are, tonight

I'll hide you in my...

   I also agree with the first interpratation, to a point.
   
   There is an 80s movie called "heathers". It's about a couple of highschoolers who go around murdering people, and writing fake suicide notes for them. They kill the school prick, (lets just say...The girl everyone hates) and after people find out she "commited suicide" they all love her and miss her. That's the "I wear your skin as a suit, your friend will like you more than they used to".
   
   As far as the "dear diary, my teen angst has a body count...I think it's going on 6 or 7 now", that's a direct quote from the movie.

   I'd have to say I agree with the first interpretation too.
   
   I was reading the lyrics and all that came to mind was a person changing just to fit in. "i'll hide you in my walls" is like saying he'll get rid of his old self, like when you hide something in a place that it won't be easy to find. "your body will never be found" meaning no one will ever know of his old self. "i'll wear your skin as a suit / pretend to be you, your friends will like you more than they used to" saying he'll wear the physical part of his old self, but change non-physically into something his new friends will like better.
   
   And for the second verse, "the scent of your insides / from under the floorboards / the perfect perfume / for settling a score" meaning the constant reminder of his old self is the price to pay for changing into something the person is not.

   I agree with the first interpretation.^^.
   But the "I'll wear your skin as a suit" is thought to be inspired by murderer/necrophile Edward Theodore Gein. (He made suits out of the skins of corspes).
   And the "pretend to be you" could be something to do with the fact that Ed used to pretend/dress up as his mother.
   
   It's probably a mixture of different ideas for imagery.
   ^^.

    It's like.. The person is turning everything around to make it better for themselves, even if it means killing someone.
    Silly...
