Great song and the tune is upbeat, almost designed to bring people out of depression. My take on it is that Tim is trying to tell us that depression is all in the individuals head...We'll all die in the end whatever we do (all roads lead onto death row etc.) and that we can choose not to succumb to that insidious emotion called depression (may your mind set you free). Basically people get depressed by feeling sorry for themselves and, whatever the circumstance, we can get through anything by choosing not to wallow in self pity and inflicting our miseries on others...The more miserable you are the less people want to be with you and the more lonely you become. Loneliness fuels depression and the circle becomes vicious.
Easier said than done I know but we have to fight the negative side of our minds with our hearts (may your heart lead you on)...So keep an open mind and a strong heart and don't feel sorry for yourself because ultimately the only person to suffer will be you.
This may sound hard but its the only way you can get through a depression...Don't take life too seriously whatever happens to you.

hm, i don't think depression is about self pity or wallowing in it. try it for a week and see how you like it.
