Obviously this song is a reference to drug addiction. Probably heroin, since she says, "little white flowers" (Heroin is made of poppies). And the lines "The shadows I live with are numberless". She has entered a deep clinical depression by the time she sings "My heart and I/Have decided to end it all/Soon there'll be candles/And prayers that are said I know/But let them not weep/Let them know that I'm glad to go." A great song.
