Lyric discussion by MerylStrep 

"He wants to rescue her (hold to me and we'll climb), but instead she commits suicide. He suggests that her death, while meaningless to some, is VERY important to Dolby."

My take is that the song doesn't actually see her do the act; the narrator is simply pleading with her to run off with him; he may not even be speaking to her, but instead setting down what he wishes he could say to her.

And I agree, "his golden surfer boys" seems to refer to her kids with this horrible man, who were raised in the sub-baked, alien culture of LA, and with whom she feels no connection whatever.
