It sounds like it could be about death, but it also sounds like it could be about the end of a relationship.
I don't think it has anything to do with suicide, however.
I think it's very much about change and loss. Maybe it can be open to interpretation.
I just think it's generally about a journey coming to an end due to some form of change, and it's hard for the person to accept the change, perhaps.
I could even relate this song to my journey of ending school soon, I think it will be hard to leave it behind, it will be "no easy ride" but it's "the only way" and I cannot dodge it.
However I think the song is either about a relationship ending (through divorce) or a nearing death, maybe of an elderly person or cancer victim, for example.
The line "Say goodbye (I don’t want to)" suggests the person is not ready to accept the change and let go.
The following line "Don’t you fight (I don’t want to)" seems to hint it might be about a relationship, rather than a death.
The line after that, "Leaving your life’s no easy ride", could be taken literally in the seanse that the song is about death, or taken metaphorically in the sense that the song is about a loss of relationship.
If the song is about a loss of a relationship, then you dont leave your life literally, you leave your lifestyle, it changes because you are no longer with your partner (and it might feel like you've left your life literally because of the emotional pain involved).
I also think, the line "Now all of the stars are aligned" has something to do with fate and destiny. Anyways I could go on for another half hour talking about this song, but I probably shouldn't. Don't listen to me anyhow lol, these are just my own opinions. Hope they were insightful to an extent. =]
