Translation and Subs- TheAsianMission

Interpretation:
I think the overall message is about how strange feelings such as paranoia can spread from one person to another (from girl 1, then as a result of what happened, to man 1 (fleeing in the shock of accidentally killing someone), and to woman 2 and man 2 (seeing the dead woman staring at them, perhaps with the same expression as she stared at man 1 with, in the moment before she died)

I read a Korean's interpretation of this before I translated it (wish I could do that every time).. There are 4main characters:
1. The first man (The "I" in Mithra's part)
2. The first woman that the man meets (named girl in the subs to help sort things out)
3. The second woman that hurries and gets on the train (The "she" in Tablo's part)
4. The second man, who gets on the subway, starts to feel suspicious and tells the woman to get off.

In the first verse, Man 1, drunk is on his way home and sees the strange Girl 1 at the subway station.. He tries to talk to her but she gets scared and slips off the subway platform (dying?).

(Afterwards man 1 takes girl 1 (dead now?) onto the subway train with him acting like a couple to try and hide the fact that he accidentally killed her.

In the second verse, woman 2 hurries onto the same subway train (at a different station), and gets an eerie feeling as she rides alone with a man and woman (couple) sitting in the corner.. The couple are probably man 1 and girl 1 from verse 1. Girl 1(?) has a strange lack of expression and is staring at woman 2 (because girl 1 is dead with her head resting on Man 1's shoulder?).. Man 2 gets on the subway at one of the next stops sitting on the same side as woman 2.. He starts to feel suspicious of the man and woman in the corner. He whispers to woman 2 to hurry and get off the train.. "That girl.. (is dead?)" he doesn't finish the sentence
