I think it's about realizing that we are getting older, and that death, inevitably, is coming for us. It explores some of the uncertainties about what could be waiting beyond death, such as a cold, silent nothing, or guidance from a divine higher power that will bring us into some sort of afterlife.

I don't think it's meant to be depressing, but rather as encouragement to live your life and be who you are because one day, you are going to die. You're not supposed to fear death, just accept it because whatever it is, it is. Life is a fact, and death is a fact.

I agree with you. You kept your interpretation simple and to the point, which is what i think this song had in mind. To me the song simply states: growing old sucks but is inevitable; maybe you believe in god, maybe you don't, but it's gonna end. And either way, you'll be find, just ride it out optimistically.
