-The person in this song doesn't feel "secure" within the relationship anymore, they feel the need to rely on superstitions (put on your oil, back in the day people used "snake oil" for protection from everything like baldness to death(btw there is no snake oil))
-Because of this, they're cutting their losses for what they think is a doomed relationship because they don't think they're worth the trouble they're causing.
-They go on to tell their partner, "Don't be sad or angry with me for ending us... you're going to find someone new and be happy one day. I, on the other hand, will never find happiness and will die alone."
Pretty tragic way to go through life. Anyhoo, just my two cents.
