i get the idea that the speaker is the one who died. the rose petal bed makes me think of him lying in a coffin with flowers all over it. when he says theres helicopters overhead its because hes lying in the coffin looking up at the sky and the only thing he sees when he looks down is his own shoes with the sun shining on them. the rest of the song confuses me tho. i have no interpretation other than this girl who he loved just wasn't there for him.his own funeral represents something terrible that has happened to him and she didnt even go to it. she had something more important and it showed him that she doesnt care about the relationship like he does
