Cover art for Dying Song lyrics by John Frusciante

i agee with those claiming it's about contemplating suicide, but the phrase "Dreaming my life away counts for nothing" makes me think that once or more everyone has thinked of leaving his life (one way or another) but noone does it. so just dreaming about it counts for nothing.

it's a sad song, but hearing him say "It's sure been a full life for me baby" is inspiring too. i hope that everybody could say that. i hope some day i will be able to say that.

so this song could be also about living the day and taking actions. it's a long shot but i like thinking of it this way.

it's just a thought.
