I don’t think this song is necessarily about death. We all go through bereavement regardless to whether we physically lose a person. I believe the world that he is speaking of is the world that they share, but staying in that world is suffocating him — “if I ever leave this world alive”. It was memorable, more then memorable for that matter. He’s never going to forget it, and sure, she’s going to be angry when he walks away, but when she reaches the stage of acceptance like he has, she too will be “okay”.
