please people, it's not about suicide...i know it does sound like it is but Buck Dharma said it isn't and is still very upset people still misinterpret, or that they ever had to begin with...who are we to disagree with the meaning of a song with the guy who wrote it...it's about not being afraid of death by natural causes...the number 40,000 was picked b/c it sounded good, apparently it was astonishingly close to the actual statistic for suicides per day...
ZimbobDan, I am upset with Donald Roeser. He is "upset" that people think that the song might be about suicide. What does the silly bollocks mean then if it isn't about suicide ?

@ZinbobDan And I've got some swamp land in Florida... 40,000? Romeo and Juliet? All the imagery about how death is the answer? Songwriters do this all the time - create a song about something edgy, and just avoid acknowledging that in public so they don't get castigated by the public. They know their fans "get it", and it becomes their little inside joke.
