It's history. The Seine river. "The river was a popular site for suicides and the disposal of bodies of murder victims.[20] In 2007, 55 bodies were retrieved from its waters; in February 2008, the body of supermodel-turned-activist Katoucha Niane was found there.[20] In the late 1700s and early 1800s over the space of six years 306 bodies were retrieved, the highest number in one day being 16. They were kept in the morgue for many years, and some were never identified."

306 suicides in 6 years. 16 in one day, one of which was the girl to which the song is about.
Other than that, the song is pretty straight forward. My favorite part is the Cut the laces of life bit. It's so haunting.
