I agree with mikeelikes. I see it as only peripherally about death though, more about consciousness. Not to get over pretentious but I always think of "Nausea" by Sartre. Ok, I guess I got over pretentious after all. But anyways it's about the horror of being eternally trapped within one's own consciousness.

OTOH, I also think it could just be about a bad acid trip.
