Trent tells us that the only person who can make him happy again, is someone he can never have. So he realizes he’ll never be happy again, and “I’m down to just one thing” must mean he’s considering suicide. He feels like it’s the only option left, and the thought of it scares him.
One of the interesting things about this song is its ambiguity. To say he “must mean he’s considering suicide” is one interpretation, but isn’t the only interpretation, and isn’t necessarily the correct one (if there even is a correct one). When I hear this song, personally, the “just one thing” reminds me of drugs. But it could also mean isolation. Depending on how you look at the song (whether it’s a love song, or a love-lost song) it could perhaps mean masturbation. It could be violence. It’s the last coping mechanism that he is down to, and the follow up lyric “and I’m starting to scare myself” tells us that he doesn’t want to go there. He wants whatever it is that he can’t have, and he knows he can’t have it. It’s possible (and this has been one of the ways I’ve interpreted this track) that the thing he can never have is actually something that he is forcing himself not to have – not that it’s something he’s incapable of having, but something he absolutely must not do, or have. In this way, being down to “just one thing” could be that thing, and he’s starting to scare himself because he knows he can’t do it. He knows he shouldn’t do it.
The point is, this song is ambiguous, and there’s a lot of ways one can interpret it.
