17 Crimes Lyrics

wondering about the line "let's kill like 17"... seems important to the song, as it's the constant refrain. is it figurative? if it's literal, and is referring to something specific in davey's mind, then it pretty much changes the direction of the song (or the meaning of the first comment, which i agree with)
