I think it's bittersweet and especially towards the end, tries to be uplifting. He saying "look, it's bad, and it might get worse before it gets better, but you're still here, your heart's still beating. Don't forget that."

"Seems like everybody else got trouble sneaking up behind You're left, you're half dead in the street but that just means you’re half alive" Such an incredible example of his writing ability.
