im confused as to what this song means, whether the singer is the person dying and condemming their lover to death, or if they want to save their lover from dying. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

From how i read it, its not the singer whos dying, but the lover. Swapping places to steal the spotlight so that they won't die, but as we all know, under normal circumstances, the dying always get the spotlight due to their situation. In this case being the star is the bad end of the deal, but the best side to be if you don't want the one most precious to you to die.
