yeah, on the one hand you could take this literally to be about a car crash and the final thoughts running through someone's mind, because vangaalen has the tendency to write about theoretical situations like this.
on the other hand, you could take it to be about a breakup - one that is either so bad that it makes him feel totally numb ("I can't feel anything at all") or it was a perfectly clean getaway - no bitter taste in the mouth, "the last thing I remember is your smile".

either way, this song is beautiful.
