Mixing the two general ideas presented so far...what if the man is infatuated or in love with a porn star?
"Somebody killed me/And tore out my heart, my love/Somebody killed me/Because of you" - Perhaps his lover left him because they were fed up with the man's porn addiction or infatuation with the pornographic actress.
I do agree that there is a feeling of sadness and longing invoked by the music. The man is aware that his admiration is foolish, harmful, and pathetic ("Images of heaven take me to hell" - hell could be interpreted as a feeling of anger, sadness, etc. or literal Hell due to sin) but he simply cannot help how he feels ("And there's nothing I can do"). He is aware that the woman is simply an actress in front of the camera and the "real woman" the camera doesn't capture may be someone completely different, yet he is in love with the media-made version of her anyway. ("The camera made you/There's nothing I can do/'Cause you don't exist"). All he has are his Images of Heaven.
