I don't believe that this song has any sort of symbolism, I do think that it is just telling a story of a journalist that falls for a "Grim Reaper Prince".
At first I thought the line of "And how all the girls were jealous line" just meant she was going kind of crazy and excusing all of the ways that people are judging her love for this man with jealousy and that it had no correlation to "He cut my lungs out" but upon further pondering I think that he actually murdered and seriously carved her lungs out and she literally could not breath and when it came to "How all the girls were jealous" she was saying all of his late girlfriends were jealous of her in death.
(I love how Richard casually just laid in "He cut my lungs out" in the mix of their date / last meal, I'm assuming.)
