Regos the Sane is right, it's comparing life to falling off a cliff. You know you will hit the ground, and you can fear the impact, or you can enjoy the view and the exhilerating feeling. I love this song, it's so true.
And that part of "Perfect Day for Bananafish" is about living recklessly - the bananafish just go and eat a lot of food and enjoy themselves, and then die because of it. I think that becomes suicide because Seymour sees that in life, and doesn't see the way out.
