If you notice each verse is different the first paragraph is clearly about Hickock, as for the second being about Smith. The chorus seems to be the interrogation, when they say it feels like an honest goodbye, they admitted being the Killers, but they did not want to die lairs.
Smith's paragraph makes him seem like he is a victim of society brushing him off and picking at him, most of us can relate to such things. As for Hickock the interrogator makes him seems like a 100% violent and angry human being, which was most likely not true considering is bringing he was intelligent. He could have been something if society had given him a chance, same with Smith.
True it is wrote about "In Cold Blood".
