This whole album is about a descent into madness and this is the last song. Think about the hit song, "Crazy." This is the aftermath (or maybe the prequel). There seem to be a lot of drug references (Run) and suicide references (surprise, would be killer) throughout the album-- loneliness and turning to drugs.
This song seems to be the last moments before death. Making peace with everyone, saying goodbyes (Thank you mom and dad, for hurting me so bad, but you're the best I ever had). Its a little better because there's an escape, ending life and going back to the lowely dirt and the sun.
Or it could be about drugs again. Getting high one more time (What would be on your mind if you knew you was dying? I would wanna just feel this one more time). Also "refuse to die in vein" not "vain."
Or it could just be a happy ending. After all the loneliness, everything is a just little better, one step at a time. But that makes no sense with the rest of the album. No song transitions into happiness. "Neighbor" the song before this, is about trying to make a new friend but they never came back, so the loneliness returns. There's not a happy ending to this tale.
So basically, I think it's about dying, about looking back on the pain in life and knowing that it can't hurt you anymore. Have mercy.
