I think he's using metaphors about death as a larger metaphor for something else. Perhaps he's making a "Pink Floydian" wall around himself or perhaps he's just depressed and drifting through life like a corpse. When you're depressed, everything loses its appeal and you go where you're pulled and drift aimlessly if left alone. Your mind as well as the rest of you can just feel empty and fail to appreciate any aspect of life (meaning that I interpret the "evacuated heavens" as his mind and the "bird of song," "heard no longer," would refer to complete loss of interest.
