Fly Into The Sun Lyrics

OK so the repeated, morbid message is that he is happy to die and he'd "welcome the chance to meet my maker" ect. ect. But why? Why are the lyrics about being so keen to die?? There doesn't seem to be a reason. Is he just sick of life? Was he dumped by another eccentric, transvestite, junkie? Or is it just meaingless words... Probably the latter. (By the way, I really enloy listening to this song and this whole album)

My Interpretation

It's pretty obvious that he's referring to some form of nuclear warfare that would eliminate the human race and thus be "an end to wordly pain"
