Song is clearly about s*****e. By locking windows and closing blinds, nobody from the outside can get in (help) or see in (report). Could be the person internalized and felt nobody wanted to see their pain, or, they made the deliberate intention to hide the pain from others.
“Sometimes goodbye’s the only way”
This could have been this person’s 2nd (or more) attempt, with the outpouring of love and support “In cards and flowers” placed on those same intentionally closed windows. There is a glimmer of hope they survived the attempt (“your friends all plead for you to stay”).
But in the end “and the sun will set for you”, it’s over. One way or another they are gone. You cannot have a sunrise (new day/beginning) until the previous day has ended at sunset.
Tragic song because we know what it’s about, it even gives us a slightly decent reason to be optimistic in the middle (maybe they survived…) just to have our worst fears confirmed by the end.
