I think its about heroin addiction. "If I knew then, whats so obvious now, you'd still be here" the character in the song is reflecting on the fact that if she knew how dangerous her loved ones addiction was at that time- she might have been able to prevent their death.
And the lyric "your exes have clawed up the bible, trying to keep me away" meaning they blame the speaker for the aforementioned death, perhaps the love was an affair.
I never thought of the record player before, but now it makes a lot of sense too. I read an interview with Neko, where she said she likes to keep her songs ambiguous enough for the listener to be able to insert themselves in to the story, or make up their own. She's a work of art.
"I think its about heroin addiction. 'If I knew then, whats so obvious now, you'd still be here.' Like anybody doesn't know how dangerous heroin addiction is? WTF?

e> I didn't know about her interview, saying she does this on purposes, though. I mean, you look at her songs, they're all like this for the most part. She is a work of art, you're right.

@ThisIsTrent I think heroin use is definitely one of the meanings here. Neko is pretty open about her parents' drug use when she was growing up, including when she lived in Washington.
