I'm sorry to say but you're all quite clearly wrong. M is the name of Fritz Lang's seminal film about a child killer in 1930s Germany (I think it's Dusseldorf, but you'd have to check yourselves to be certain). You can tell this quite clearly by the lines:
"You'll fall in love with somebody else
Tonight" (The child killer says that he can't help what he does - not unlike love)
"And ready for the next attack"
(Attack another victim perhaps?).
Obviously it isn't solely about this film and resonates quite effectively as a love song, however the title's origin is in the Fritz Lang film, not his future wife.

Twist and turn
But you're trapped in the light
All the directions were wrong
Something like "you guys try everything you can to find the murderer but you all can see (hence "trapped in the light") and pay no atention to sounds because of it. That's why all your clues are useless, wrong". Remember, the one who found out who the murderer was, was a blind man...

Help yourself
But tell me the words
Before you fade away
You reveal all the secrets
Do it again, but give me the right clue before you disappear.
The reasons are clear
The murderer himself exposed his reasons, I can't quite remember if it was in the letter he wrote to the police or in the trial the gangsters mounted to "judge" him.
