I always kind of got the idea that this song is about Emilie/Emily contemplating suicide and maybe attempting it.
I imagine that she took a whole bunch of pills or something and is expecting to die whenever she loses consciousness. The whole time, she wonders whether her life has meant anything at all:
"Is my story over?
If i fall asleep?
will anybody find me and will anybody weep?"
"If I never were born, if I never died, would it even matter at all?"
I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like a suicide contemplation/attempt to me. It would make sense, because in the next song, she is institutionalized, indicating that maybe someone found her unconscious and sent her to the asylum for "help."
