I think him switching from "me" to "you" when he says Death in the verse is significant.

Yes, you're right. The lyrics say that when everything is ok in poeple's lives, they are selfish and only think about themselves, it doesn't really matter what form he uses "me" or "they". It's to highlight the fact that we mainly think about oursevels and, however when you get closer to death...then everything changes...we then start seeking help...others....as nobody wants to die alone...
