I also took the meaning of this song to be about not fearing death.
The chorus alone and one of the last verses makes me believe this song is just about the fear of death.
"The thought of death it scares me to death,
and i dont know why, i dont know.
It's just too much to never wake up.
Dont, dont tell me when its coming (no)
Dont, dont i just want to see if for myself.
Dont breathe, dont make a sound,
cause the song wont stop till the tape runs out.
When melody has nothing to hold,
I'll be the last sound that you hear,
as your eyes close. "
