This song is about the end of life through suicide.
The way the song describes it, it almost makes
the act of suicide ritualistic and beautiful.
"Die in the sunset" is symbolic of the end of
things, with the sunset symbolizing that end.
"Play in the darkness" is putting the act
itself in the view that suicide is a game one delves in.
The lines "a short while till the blood runs red
and the sun won't shine" refers to the immenent
coming act of suicide.
The title itself, and repeated lyric, "Tranquilize",
is hinting at the numbing of the senses, and in
this song, that happens to be through commiting Suicide.
