I would agree that this song is about a messed up relationship where the female partner has been abused and she's finally broken free. My take is that she commits suicide as it is the only way she can see to escape.
On a side note, this song goes back to the days of Split Enz and was written by Neil and Tim Finn and then resurrected during the "Woodface" sessions with help from Nick Seymour.

Tim's harmonies on the chorus are breathtaking.
