Switching Off Lyrics

I always looked at this song as a working man falling in love but inevitably detests his monotonous way of life and therefore ends it all through assisted suicide. This song is his final grasp at focusing on his love, "the only sense the world has ever made." Please help if I am way off base here. Any insight is welcome.
