while this probably isn't correct. I look at the song like this. I think that is is about a relationship gone wrong. where one person is just using the other. the majority of the song is the user talking to the person making excuses for themselves. telling them how they have changed and how they are not happy anymore. "letting them down lightly." in the end, the other party is saying, "well ok, you let me down lightly, that's nice and exceptable, so I killed you politely."
I love this song. it's wonderful.
