People are missing the obvious about the time frames here- The doctor came in the MORNING, but the patient is asking if it is STILL light outside. It seems to me that this patient has been in a coma for a VERY long time but doesn't realise it, and so is very out of the loop on how light it should be. Compounded by the fact that they ask "where is everybody?". People can't hang around a hospital bed for years.
I always think the start of the song almost sounds like somebody waking up aswell, you know that feeling when you've been asleep and you slowly start to surface conciousness.
I also think it's about a suicide attempt, but it could equally be about some kind of other nervous breakdown brought about by stress. Love the idea of the long scandinavian days and nights aswell.
