there are no lyrics that are more meaningful than those words or phrases that have significance on two or more interpretations to the writer. I think there is a distinct possibility there are two or more signifcant personal references to matt here in this song. if you know anything about him you understand the volatile nature of his life especially in his personal relationships and "substance" usage. In my opinion there is a strong case that his reference to "like mercury to hell" has two meanings as well. Mercury, the planet, falling in gravity or being consumed by the Sun, aka, Hell to a vampire. There is a reference to vampires all over this song. Also, it can be as simple as the mercury in a thermometer falling in hell because as we all know that in other songs Hell is, in fact, a cold place for now.
