Although I suppose this is really about what meaow13 is talking about, I gotta say it really reminds me of fever and sickness. And hospitals. I don't know why...
The first version of the song (from the album Unicorns Are People Too) reminds me even more of this. It's also a somewhat more depressing than the most recent version. (none of them are really depressing, though..) When you hear the children playing and laughing, I imagine the guy in the song has been fed numerous different medications, so he's probably a bit drugged. He knows he's gonna die, and he's looking out the window or whatever, where the children play, and he thinks about how much he'll miss the world when he dies.
That's probably nowhere close to what the song is really about, but at least that's what I think about when I hear it. There's not really a wrong vs. right when it comes to what a song means to ME anyway, is there...
