I think that this is a song where a young 'pure' virgin girl has fallen in love with an older man who isn't 'pure' at all. During their relationship he shows her stuff she hasn't seen before, for example 'people taking drugs, drinking etc'. She had never been exposed because her family are strong believers in Christianity and thinks you'll be sent to hell for sinning. Anyway she sees all that stuff and want's to do all that. And soon her life has been flipped upside down because her family life and the way she had been grown up is completely different to the life she wants. And the reason she wants that life is to be the guys girlfriend and to be with him. I think she might have been drunk or high or something when she tells him to follow her down to the river where they end up having sex.
Because her family was Christians and they might have that whole aspect of 'if you don't believe in god then you're condemned to hell' or 'being pure till marriage' sort of idea. And the lyrics "Now I know that there's a different way to die, My body breathes, Heart still beats, But I am not alive" because she thinks she's going to hell and like only those who believe in Jesus will 'live' so she thinks that she has 'died' In a way of not only being 'pure' but not believing. I honestly have no idea.
