It's not about a suicide, per se. It's more like, she doesnt know who she is anymore. The "stranger" that came "in the night," is what she's become. She opened her eyes one day and didn't know who she was or how she got there.
It could also be about betrayal. Someone broke her... not her heart (it's not a sappy love song...) but broke her spirit. Changed who she was. Someone she didnt like. To the point where it's hard to see the purpose of living.
.... At least that's what it means to me when I listen to it. With the exception of maybe "I, Manface" this is probably my favorite Man Man song. It's so simple and rythmic and dark. I just LOVE it.
