It seems clear to me that the singer here is dying. "No more crying, no more pain", "sweet, short life". I can't figure out more than that.
The end of the song is amazing, and really different for Garbage - not the sound itself, but the presence of such a long musical coda is. The bittersweet lyrics (I love "In my happy home, I barely breathe") only sweeten (bittersweeten?) the deal. Except for maybe "Milk", this is my favorite end to a Garbage album.
