this song represents suicidal thoughts...he's thinking of fianlly ending it. No alarms no suprises...he doesn't have to deal with the shit that's been going on no more panic attacks from all the bad things that keep going off in his life.
The part where he sings about the pretty house and pretty garden....everything LOOKS perfect...but it'll finally be perfect when he gets rid of the "alarms and suprises" and he can only think of one solution.
i think this song is so sad...the music is floaty in a way...kind of like you're drifting away to you're death....
or i could just be out of my mind...but it's how i see it.
Same interpretation here. The method is even touched on near the beginning of the song, where the "narrator" is more coherent before beginning to drift away.

@Pixiedust Junkee I think that PairOFish' interpretation and yours together quite perfectly describe this song. I believe the part "I'll take a quiet life, A handshake of carbon monoxide" refers to suicide, or more specifically, a method of suicide where you keep the engine of your car running in a garage, slowly dying from the cabon monoxide levels rising.
"My final bellyache" might even refer to the last pain you might feel while committing suicide in such a way. Can't have a way of knowing this for sure, of course.

I thought they same thing. Its either about suicide, or figuring out his life has no meaning.

I think the pretty house is a mausoleum and the pretty garden is the graveyard.
