The songs is clearly about Suicide, well someone who is suicidal at least.
As far as i can glean out of it, either he or his partner have left and hence he is now suicidal, allt he following lines are pretty much straight out
"see, since you've gone away i don't have strength in me to stay."
"and all our reasons they keep going somewhere.
the devil to one side of me seems to believe in killing me."
The Beautiful girls have a strong influence by the Police, and the Police were in reality a very dark band lyrically with subjects like suicide and stalking quite common. I think some of this is reflected in Matt McHugh's writing too.
But over all this is a great song, even though it is about someone suicidal it's still an outstanding piece of art
