I take it as a metaphor for his insecurity. He admits that he's not the man she thinks he is and rather than take account for his wrongdoings, make necessary sacrifices, and improve himself as a person, he simply kills any trace of his true self being discovered. He's getting rid of anyone that makes him look back, anyone that's on to him, even if he knows he's denying her something better. He's selfish. He knows it though and freely admits to it. He has no intention of changing.

Its either that or he's been killing off malicious suitors to the love of his life before they tell her what kind of man he truly is and then he buries them within his garden.

I love this song but I just can't help but think that he looks a lot like the guy from Superbad; the scene where they try to make Michael Cera sing.
