It sounds like the house is a metaphor for somebody's body going through an autopsy.
"Go over every inch of space
With the patience of a saint"
Maybe someone close to the singer was murdered (maybe a drug overdose? Maybe they were a heavy drinker? "look beyond the broken bottles" "Not everyone can live like millionaires").
That's what I've always thought of when listening to this haunting song.
