I don't see suicide in this song at all. Perhaps the gradual passing of the petty details that make up a day, a year, a life. The drowning part, going down together could mean the loss of one's self in a relationship. "There's a hand to lay on your open palm today" evokes the vulnerability we all possess especially when we surrender our hearts to another. (Or we simply need each other) Anyways a beautiful song to end Picareasque on.
