It is the narrator's birthday, and she wishes that the person she loves was with her at the hotel she is staying at. She wants to be left alone, and is drinking because the person she loves (in the sixth stanza) is gone. As she drinks her way through the minibar she begins doing something self-destructive that would cause onlookers to 'vomit and run'; perhaps it is cutting herself, or even burning herself with the candle mentioned in the fifth stanza. This song is beautiful and lonesome.
