I agree with Evilspleen. I think it is suicide as well. The paradox: Facing yourself in the mirror every day, wishing it would all just end because you can't bottle up anything else. I don't think there are two people in the lyrics. I think it's one person, looking and reflecting on themselves in the mirror, trying to justify what they are about to do, trying to find some dignity and honor in it. ( Sword reference ), trying to find one last shred of hope where they really feel there is none. You keep going back to that one moment but sadly it is just out of reach.
This is my favorite song in the world and always will be.
