To me this sounds more like a big metaphor for wanting to date a girl. He does all these things just to "pass the test" and to date her. After a while she dumps him, he gets burnt just like all the dead relationships, "dead babies." After the relationship is over he wonders what he saw in her in the first place, why he "took it [the test] in the first place."
