I think this song can be interpreted in many ways, lol idk if its about anal sex haha, on a serious note, suicide def can fit, with an angel talking to mike telling him some advice, but idk cus why would an angel giv someone advice to kill themselves. what i think is a more secular meaning, such as slip out the back means to runaway, literally runaway from your family or your lover or such, and to stay away, you do this b.c the ppl ur are running away from are hurt by ur actions and perhaps u by theirs. so u runaway while u can so as to not truly and permanently hurt these ppl. the worse thing that can happen is nobody cares you are gone b.c they know that u were hurting them as well so they dont care that u r gone and that could hurt you the most. b.c if u left ppl u cared about unannounced and they didnt care that u were gone. that would be really painful emotionally. and as for the kid hes talking about meeting, to me it sounds like hes a drifter or something. someone who u may meet randomly and not remember where or his name b.c it could have been anywhere, at a bar/club, at a job, but if he was a local person or something ud kno him or get to kno him but b.c hes not u meet him one nite and only one nite and hes gone, cus hes slipping out the back before he hurts anyone else. he just drifts around from place to place never really getting to know anyone on a real level
