Outside of the suicide meaning, I like to think of this song as a way of saying that music is a source of happiness, so he doesn't need to go out (like to a bar). Most people who skip out on bar night are readers who like to sit at home reading books, but he doesn't need a book.... he has his music!
Just a thought. I don't know if it's right or total crap, but it inspires me regardless.
