@gragule The song is clearly about abortion, but I don't think it's about organ selling and stuff. The jar is reference to formaldehyde jar, I think.
And it's "Her heart is in my mouth, but still keep pounding", not "my heart". I assume it means that she feels her daughter is still living in her memory, and the beating heart in mouth is a reference to Semele from Greek mythology, a story of Dyonisus who was torn apart when his mother, pregnant with him, was murdered. His heart was saved by Athena, and Zeus gave it to Semele - she ate...

So, the song is about a second chance of having a baby after previous abortion.
Overall, I think it is about abortion.
Boxing shadows in my sleep It's the company I keep The perfect exercise As I grow older
I can't believe what God has done He took the heat out of the sun And now it seems the world Is growing colder
Between the pleasure and the pain Wishing your life away
No more sinister than sane Briefing your life away
Between the flicker and the flame No one can explain Baby blue is born again
I'm looking for some place to go Sucking out screams in stereo Before my bare eyes I saw her drowning
Keep my daughter in a jar She can't get out she won't go far My heart is in my mouth But still keep pounding
I may be off base but that's what I thought of when I heard the song.
