I don't think it's just depression, I think it's death, and the fear of death. Once again really great English lyrics come from a foreign band -- a lot of writers who call English a first language can't get the same depth and meaning from such simple words the way bands like Lacuna Coil do.
This song has some really beautiful aspects lyrically, the choral section comes to mind. "It's hard to say/see, you must believe it," seems apparent to me to embody the concept of faith to comfort a dying person; not to worry, because death will supposedly carry us into the afterlife, it's difficult to believe since we can't see it but you must believe it. The same prospect seems to be used by the dying to comfort himself as well, "maybe in a dream I'll go between the sun and shining stars".
The title being "Soul into Hades," I think all in all it's a real work of art and an interesting look into death as a subject in music... like much good art, it may be about a much over-used subject, but it offers a beautiful look into it, and one with very real human connections in this case.
