Well said, TheWrongGirl, about interpreting lyrics through the lens of one's own life. I wonder if obscure meaning only CAN be interpreted correctly from the vantage of being immersed in a similar experience. When many words resonate, the recognition of the author's state-of-mind is deep. Otherwise, only vague impressions.
So it's fair to speculate ElBoricanoBlanco had just initiated a breakup with someone.
I get the vague impression from this song that SHE initiated the breakup, and he can't be post-romantically "just friends" (go to her party) because her presence exhumes his hopes, which he would rather keep buried (dead).
Or, drawing from experience of the opposite, he can't bear to be near her when she's still in love with him (go to her party) because he doesn't feel love for her (he thinks he's dead).
