The song's about him leaving the town, the first line "Go tell this town I've built them all their coffins" is basically saying "Don't get too comfortable; I'm leaving but staying closeby to kill."
I also think "I own the night life" is about people being afraid to go out cuz of him, as others mentioned.
The line "As for this face, best it be forgotten", to me, means he wants to lay low so as not to get caught. He doesn't want to appear as a suspect so he's leaving town but still committing murders.
