I always interpreted it as the narrator trying to repent of an awful deed he committed in the past, possibly even murder. The whole album is basically about guilt, anger, and revenge.
More positively, you could see it as the character's return to sanity, possibly do to a tragic event befalling their family (did sweet daddy die, here comes the bride).
