My first go at it was someone who was knowingly losing their mind was telling those they love how much they mean to them before they lost touch with reality. Perhaps past experience watching a family member with Alzheimer's mentally die long before they physically died drove me towards this conclusion.

Hell of a song any way you look at it!
