so i seriosuly think that all the meanings said are possible and such, but i just think you guys are looking too far into it.
im pretty sure its just about a girlfrind&&boyfriend who are in a relationship which is forbidden (kinda like romeo and juliet) therefore they are depressed, her more so than him, so they make a pact to commit a double suicide. he doesnt seem all that keen, but it's what she wants, so he just toughens up and 'instructs' her. as said in: "Just do as you're instructed and....
Take this razor and cut your palms
I'll do the same until a river of crimson begins to flow"
for some reason the guy doesnt end up doing it. either he pussies out, or is caught before he dies.
"My secret is fatally gorgeous
I'd die for you "
the secret being their forbidden lvoe, and how if she was to kill herself, he would kill himself self aswell because he couldnt live without her.
"In muddy grass we stand side by side
with our knuckles interlocked
Black dresses flood the cemetery
in this cliche tragedy"
im pretty sure they're about to kill themselves, and he's just picturing the funeral and stuff.
"But in this Bonnie and Clyde kind of romance
tell me what would you do? "
first off, to set the record straight. bonnie and clyde were a couple somewhere around the 1920s or 30s. they were both outlaws. there's a story in between, but pretty much in the end they were shot. and btw they were inlove, and in the end died for eachother.
so i think its referring to the guy and girl in the song as if to say they know what they're doing is wrong (bonnie and clyde stealing and guy and girl being together), so they ended up wishing to die for eachother, both purely because of the forbidden love.
and the whole him clawing at the ground thing was just when he was at her funeral, and he begins to finally let out all his emotions, and has a total breakdown.
so anyway. i better shutup now. all in all, mad arse song though. love it :)
