Jenny Lyrics
She's just always falling
So I know she'll break the bone
No, one will follow
So she's falling alone
Carry it all for the broken doll
Gonna take it all and throw it all away, hey
Caught in the sun
Face in a gun
Oh Jenny, turn away
Weather the worst
One for the hearse
Oh Jenny, feel the pain
She's just always calling
When she's lost the way to go
Oh, feelin' nothing
Time to finish the show
End it all for the broken doll
Gonna take it all and throw it all away, hey
Caught in the sun
Face in a gun
Oh Jenny, turn away
Weather the worst
One for the hearse
Oh Jenny, feel the pain
All the color gone away
Only sorrow, hard to stay
Knowing love is hard to keep
She keeps hearing, 'Face the deep'
Caught in the sun
Face in a gun
Oh Jenny, turn away
Weather the worst
One for the hearse
Oh Jenny, feel the pain
Caught in the sun
Face in a gun
Oh Jenny, turn away
Weather the worst
One for the hearse
Oh Jenny, feel the pain
So I know she'll break the bone
No, one will follow
So she's falling alone
Carry it all for the broken doll
Gonna take it all and throw it all away, hey
Face in a gun
Oh Jenny, turn away
Weather the worst
One for the hearse
Oh Jenny, feel the pain
When she's lost the way to go
Oh, feelin' nothing
Time to finish the show
End it all for the broken doll
Gonna take it all and throw it all away, hey
Face in a gun
Oh Jenny, turn away
Weather the worst
One for the hearse
Oh Jenny, feel the pain
Only sorrow, hard to stay
Knowing love is hard to keep
She keeps hearing, 'Face the deep'
Face in a gun
Oh Jenny, turn away
Weather the worst
One for the hearse
Oh Jenny, feel the pain
Face in a gun
Oh Jenny, turn away
Weather the worst
One for the hearse
Oh Jenny, feel the pain

To me, it sounds like Jenny is suicidal. "She's always falling" could be some sort of persistent mental problem. "...so she's falling alone" could be the fact other people can't help her at the point she is. "Take it all and throw it all away" is a no-brainer. Facing the gun is death imagery, if you could call it that. In the next verse, the hearse (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hearse) mentioned also seems to be death related in the majority of its uses. She could be calling someone in a desperate attempt for help, but to no avail. She's "feeling nothing". It's time to "finish the show". The color, the joy and ease of living is gone from her life. There is only sorrow left, she has no incentive to keep going. Love is hard to keep, she struggles with personal relationships (possibly as a result of her condition), as is evident by the fact she seems to be abandoned. Facing the deep, facing death, is what she is compelled to do.
