Cover art for Beloved lyrics by April Smith and the Great Picture Show

I can't decide if this song is toward a former lover who is alive or dead.

If they're alive, this song seems a tad creepy and/or dark.

The line "This thing that beats / is the one thing that keeps us apart" is what makes me think the former lover could possibly be dead. but I'm not sure.
