Oh wow, that was a completely different interpretation from mine. I thought the song was more of a commentary on today's society. The man only climbed up on the bridge to see the view, but all the people around him assume that he wants to take his life because they can't imagine why else he would climb up there. They spur him on to jump because of their own thrist for blood and drama. Come to think of it, it's like all those people who watch reality TV because they're entertained by other people's misery and because they want to see what kind of outrageous things are going to happen next.
