this is my favorite song off spiderland. it definitely implies death: "dust and the memories...from the shoes on my feet." implying that he intends turning into ashes and never return, hence the memories. also, the same point that cherub rock made about leaving this life, but possibly meeting in an afterlife.
however, i don't want to believe that the song is about suicide since he obviously has a strong love and sees himself as a protector to the girl. his lyrics imply that she loves him deeply. i don't understand why he would want to break that bond by killing himself.
