i just had the biggest epiphany about this song. the "its a long way for an answer, is there any news, is there any word..." is the living friend talking about a car crash maybe.... asking if drinking and driving was worth it(thats how i see it) and the second part of the chorus "is there anything....." thats the dead person, hes talking about life, and how nothing in your life means anything in the end, because no matter what happens in your life, you die. so nothing matters. atleast thats how i see it anyways
