So few words with so much emotion. The underlying emotion- depression.
The first verse is pure genius:
"You let the dark in, somehow" - things/life getting you down.
"Sharks swim around your, drowning soul" - as garygwapo says, a possible drug reference, but also possibly the exponential effect of depression. When you're down, little things seem much worse.
The final verses:
"Once you've gone, you can't come back" - suicide is irreversible.
