I heard an interesting theory about this song once...
The whole "TSOP" album is filled with sadness, despair, hopelesness, fear etc. Not only the lyrics, but the music as well (all the "crying guitars"...). That's why the CD ends with "Painkiller" - to KILL all this PAIN. Otherwise the listener could blow his brains out or something.
