I'd definately have to agree with Mallard on the EMS, especially with lyrics like, "Finished the book [of life] and the house [EMS' body] shook," and "Every damn day a hero of mine dies trying to fly." Appears to me a lover killed herself, but he wants to try and save her anyhow, "so pound on the chest and hope for the best."
More so on the suicide when he says, "and they lie where their lovers lie," as lovers so often feel the blame and guilt when their partner commits suicide. Also, the oneness of a relationship shows through with the chrorus, the constant plurality - "we'll be..." and "so be sure to save us..."
