In my estimation, this song is a narration directly from 'the grim reaper, ' coaxing a woman to ease into death. It seems that the singer is adopting 'Death's' personna as he is cajoling and comforting a woman about how easy dying can be when one's fear is allayed. I'm not certain about whether this is an instance of a woman's mulling over suicide or if its a natural end, (Came the last night of sadness,
And it was clear she couldn't go on. ...), but i don't think that's the real issue. I believe it to be one of dispelling the trepidation surrounding our own deaths, as death is only part of the natural cycle of things, as plenty of people have already stated. (seasons don't fear the reaper.....).....and besides, the number of people dying is just another "40,000 men and women everyday..." ...so don't be afraid.....
