This is a truly beautiful and mysterious song. I've listened to it for awhile now and I still haven't fully grasped what it means for me. It always seems to speak to a part of me that I can't explain or put into words.
I definitely agree with the idea that life as we know it can be changed in a matter of seconds. Life is short. You can die at any time, so why not shake things up ("23 magic, if you can change your life")? Either way, the world keeps turning.
I also feel this song alludes to a relationship which the singer has conflicted feelings about ("He as a song of God, he was a song of a gun", "Your tainted heart, my tainted love"). How this all ties together is hard to say. It might be a love song, and this message is directed at this man she speaks of. Or perhaps he is gone from her life and this song is a reflection on life and death. Who knows?

*SON of God, not song. Whoops.
