    $\begingroup$ @randal'thor No, not this time. (I would have marked it with knowledge if it did.) It might require some general knowledge, but I don't think that's anything obscure. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ This is the correct answer! You got everything right except for the box part - it refers to mailbox, since the {second line} asks people to give it their login and password for their e-mail so it can scrape it for known addresses. No, I don't mean by open-authentication style scheme, I mean by literally filling them in a form and handing them over to {second line}, which is presumably saved and reused. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You are on the right track - you have deciphered half of the meaning behind first verse and the title - but this is not the answer. A question that might help you: what kind of material could count as human skin? $\endgroup$

Um... maybe it's referring to a honeycomb? Not sure.

He knows who you love,

Lot of people call their bf/gf/wife/husband "Honey"

has a key to your box

Not sure

and can strap you to a lucid dream.

Probably something about how sweets can cause lucid dreams

And finally...

The title includes the word sweet

  • $\begingroup$ Good try, but you went in the wrong direction compared to Silenus' answer. I really like how the first two answers interpreted the who you love verse in the same way, but it's not about that. As for the first verse: anointment is not related or a part of lordship. $\endgroup$

I don't think I've quite got it, as not everything matches each other, but I can manage to get it around a central theme, so I'm sure there are better matches than I've found thus far.

Are you

iPhone/iDevice

Anointed Lord of the Crystal Mountain

iPhones are an industry leader in smart phones, which utilize LCDs (liquid crystal display)

wields a book of human skin.

Your contact book (contains many faces)

He knows who you love,

Tracks most frequently contacted people, and contacts manually marked as favorites

has a key to your box

You can check your e-mail (inbox) from your iPhone

and can strap you to a lucid dream.

This may be a reference to the iBand+, purported to induce lucid dreaming, although it is not an Apple product.

Title:

Most iDevices are by Apple, and apples taste sweet.
