About somebody not wanting to have to face a lover they've recently broken up with. A lot of songs on Infernal Love fit together like that (and so do the two b-sides from the album's singles, too), almost like a jumbled up concept album. For example, it could go:
Epilepsy (Infatuation)
Loose (A great time together)
A Moment Of Clarity (Recognition of the relationship's failures)
Nice Guys (The start of the deterioration)
Our Love Must Die (The breakup)
Bowels Of Love/Misery (A subsequent confrontation from both sides of the argument)
Me Vs You (Failed attempt at reconciliation)
Diane (I know it's a cover, but it could be revenge)
30 Seconds (Despair/Hope)
Dunno how to fit Stories, Jude The Obscene or Bad Mother in, though... but a lot of these songs seem to reference some sort of gap in age and experience - such as A Moment Of Clarity ('Your innocence is cruel'), Bowels Of Love ('Naive and ugly'), Me Vs You ('Feeding on your innocence'), Diane ('Hey, little girl...'), Nice Guys ('Took this girl in desperation') and Our Love Must Die ('My dear young lover'). Well, it makes sense to me.
