Yeah, this song is incredible, and probably carries one of the strongest and most thoughful messages that I have ever seen in a song. Firstly, I'd say the other comments are pretty accurate. I wouldn't necessarily say that the song is referring to suicide. I think it's simple reassurance that when the going gets tough, and it doesn't seem like there is an end in sight, to just relax and remember that pretty soon, it will all be behind you.
I also really love the line, "You can't look straight ahead, to see what's in front of you." Alot of times, when you are going through a difficult time, you tend to want to see the light at the end of the tunnel immediately, for reassurance that you are going to be out of this mess, but the song lets you know that it's not always that easy, and sometimes, you just have to let life run its course and have faith that everything is going to work out.
