It seems like this song is talking about a drunk driving accident late at night, and the effects it had on those involved. "Never stop the car on a drive in the dark" could mean that maybe in the story, someone had pulled over for some reason and was then hit by a drunk driver. The "mother's eyes" quote could mean that maybe a sibling of the person killed was asking their mother what happened, but they didn't really want to find out. "Final sound as a gun" could mean that it happened so fast it sounded like a gun going off, which is backed up the "smashing windscreen" line.
The "did you ever imagine" line could mean that the person in the car wasn't killed instantly, and layed there fading out while their radio continued to play.
The chorus could stand for a friend or family member, possibly lover, who's entire life revolved around this one person, and all of the sudden, they were gone. All of their plans for life were shattered and all of their dreams extinguished.
I'd go into more detail, but I think you get the picture.
Based on the Deadwing concept, i think that this song is about David's mother talking about her life, or death. It tells us how we shouldn't take life for granted and that death could come at any moment.
