Voltaire may mean the lyrics to be interpreted that way, but people interpret it in their own way. This song makes me feel the same as thepokeduck. It makes me think of a person who's loved one has coped with suicide for a long time, has contemplated it, thought about it, kept it on their mind, and finally attempted it. Maybe the loved one is reflecting on it.
But you can also see what he is talking about for example, "as you stand there at the edge of your light
what do you remember, was it all you wanted?
i tried hard to save the feathery wings."
This is a beautiful song...
