I'm addicted to thing song... I don't know what it is, but I can't stop listening to it.

Anyway, IMHO, I think it's about how a lot married couples (or just couples in general) that never really love each other and get divorced. The word "love" and marriage are meaningless nowadays because for some reason, people can't stay faithful ("living in an empty world... I was out late last night... empty life"). The third stanza, I think is about how a lot of couples when they get married deep down don't realize or expect that they'll be married to their spouse "till death do them part" ("the diamond cuts arrive... they weren't all that proud") and/or they ignore all signs that it's not going to last until they can't be ignored anymore ("with all the noise above, we tried to call his name... by now they hear it loud.").

Just a guess....
