My opinion on this song is that it is about an abortion. Thats the first and only thing that came to mind when listening to the lyrics such as

"Now I'm guilt stricken, sobbing with my head on the floor Stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, now."

I also think the valium relates because the woman who had this happen commits suicide or she is trying to deal with her mistake. The father of the child, "took a weeks vacation to forget here" and it says he "thinks about her now and how he never really wept"
