To me this song sounds like he's going to suicide.

The lyrics don't make a lot of sense, but that's the way I like it. I like to create my own meanings to songs.

Here's some examples of why I interpreted it out to mean suicide:

"Your chance was given to find my self today." - he's talking to himself about how he's lost.

"when my time will come I'll know the reasons why" - he knows how he's going to die because he's going to kill himself.

"I haven't escaped a low that keeps me safe from within my home" - he's so depressed that he isn't even safe in his own home.

"when I die bury me in smoke" smoke coming from a gun blast to his head.

So yeah, I think it's about him planning his own suicide, but before he suicides he's going to live the rest of his short life to the fullest.
