Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
'We missed you,' hissed the lovecats"
This set of lyrics would, at first glance at least, lead me to believe that it's reference to The Cure's deviation from their normal song style, and that the "Lovecats" might be those that write all the trendy love songs that become hits.
"'We missed you,' hissed the lovecats" might be a reference to other musicians giving praise or a welcoming back to a more mainstream type of song.
"All these years and no one heard" might be a reference to how long it had been since this band created a song of this nature.
There's really nothing here to indicate anything about actual cats. In fact, the lyrics specifically mention the love cats aging, returning to something, being greeted by other cats, and a few other items that directly contradict that idea.
It's also clearly not about a suicide pact - for those very same reasons.
"Let's go and throw All the songs we know...
Into the sea You and me All these years and no one heard I'll show you in spring It's a treacherous thing 'We missed you,' hissed the lovecats"

@Alastor I always thought the 'Lovecats' was an oblique reference to the Hippies of the 1960s who were, in their own parlance, 'Love cats', maaaan
