Most of the comments are a little off-base. This song IS about the death of someone, but not a girlfriend or a wife. As a matter of fact, this song isn't dedicated to a girl at all.
This song, like "Shadow Song" is dedicated to Rozz Williams. Rozz Williams was a singer, he was in a band called Christian Death and then he was in another band called Shadow Project. And then he committed suicide. He was a good friend of JD. Yes, this is not a fictional song sung from the point of view of a fictional character. This is JD singing as JD words that were really in his heart.
