I1m not an English native spaeker, so I could be totally wrong, but in my opinnion this song is about person who lost her hope and will of fight. First part is like a retrospection (but also sketch of baground). Al things hurts her, (probably some disappointed love). Finally she decided to comit suicide - cut her wrist ("...she pulls a razor from her boot
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet") Pigeons means blood that dropped round her feet, and also as a symbolism of freedom (onw she`s free, world won~t hurt her any more. Very sad is that almost noone sees her pain and dath, live is floatin as on the beginnig of this song - "The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street". And finnaly on the end - narrator asks us to remeber her pain, and to think aoubt our own live - "So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips".
