Part of this song, interpreted by my friend, is referring to drowning...
'There's nothing like a mouthful of Venetian tar
To let you know just who you fucking are'
This exclamation refers to drowning as Venetain tar suggests the idea of a road surface in Venice. The roads in Venice are of course canals so the idea that drowning occurs is expressed here. Also the saying 'your life flashes before your eyes' is implied here. Ville Valo singing 'My world is falling, world is falling down' impies life flashing before the eyes.
