This song is quite simply about death. The line "Ever thought from here on in your life begins, And all you knew was wrong?" is very important in the song. It's said that life is the shortest part of death, and these two quotes go hand in hand. Also, the mention of the sound of the gun and crashing of the windscreen are simply different methods of dying of unnatural causes. It's all just Wilson's commentary and perception on death.
Nonetheless, this song is a masterpiece, though I'm not a huge fan of the instrumental. The metal tone in it just seems a little out of place for lyrics these beautiful.
