M is about Mary, his wife. They've been together in some form since they were 14 years old, and the song lends itself pretty obviously to that form of relationship turbulence. Robert has cross-referenced that letter constantly to his wife through his career, and I would imagine that Mary is a much more avid influence on him than a random Fritz Lang film, as fantastic as it is.
