The term 'petite mort' literally means 'little death' although it is also used by the French as a meaning for orgasm. This song seems to be about a lover who has left the person and their absence seems almost as if it is a death. The singer made mistakes that drove their lover away bitterly, and now they are mourning over their breakup as if it was a death.
