I look at this song as someone coming to grips with their own death.

It reminds me very much of a person I just got to know just a few days ago, and we're talking and she brings up the fact that she may have cancer. She's had a cyst in her chest for over a year, which can't be healed, and her family gets different kinds of cancer very easily (she's already losing two close relatives to it). She says she could go at anytime, but she's okay with that.

After she told me that, I listened to this when I got home and it reminded me of her, and her situation.
