The first page of this thread is making me positively crap myself laughing. "I think it's about going out with that special someone?" Really? Uh, okay.
Anyway, from the first listen to this song, I immediately thought of a man kneeling at the grave of his lover with their children/family, begging her to take them with her. After reading the comments regarding the song being about the St. Guillen murder, it makes so much sense. The three stowaways could be referring to St. Guillen's best friend who was the last to see her alive, as well as her mother and sister.
Basically, this song is pretty, but it's eerie as hell.
Most Interpol songs have cryptic lyrics. This song is definitely no exception. A relation to a particular historical event is unlikely and a stretch of interpretation to stabilize the otherwise rich meanings to an event in 2006 is probably not correct.
