Insight Lyrics

I wonder, do people look for hints toward suicide in lyrics from someone who has killed themselves?

I've always considered the song to be being an insight into how meaningless life has become for the narrator (be that Curtis or not). And having this insight the narrator stops being afraid (but of what?)

PS - I like Bliss' answer.

"I've always considered the song to be being an insight into how meaningless life has become for the narrator (be that Curtis or not). And having this insight the narrator stops being afraid (but of what?)"

Of what? Well, if the narrator's life has become meaningless, then he presumably has nothing left to lose and, thus, nothing to be afraid of.
