I can see how, looking closely with the lyrics, it is about a woman who feels her life and all the time with which she spends it is empty. However the chorus, "when will WE fall down," almost sounds like it's about when will mankind fall down. Not "when will she fall down," or "when will I fall down," "but when will we fall down?"
I think it's saying that her feelings are not unique, even though she feels that she may be alone. We are all living facades of life and all our insecurities and emptiness will catch up with us later It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong and we'll have a major shakeup or a nervous breakdown. Or maybe I'm reading a bit too deep and beyond, but I think the "when will WE fall down" is significant.
