I love this song too much. If the new album follows suit, I'll be the happiest guy alive. The Rev's death is only just sinking in for me.
The song is about someone who has died and gone to hell, where he's being tortured and is in his <i>nightmare</i> and can't escape. He can't turn back, so he has to fight, but loses, and is dragged back down. The last verse seems to have a very definitive ending, but then the music at the end seems like it will lead right onto another song, so we don't know for sure if it IS the end.
I don't think it's about Jimmy dying, because he was the one who wrote it. Also, I don't think they would want to think of Jimmy as the guy in this Ballad.
jimmy wrote the song for him self. if u went to their site wen he died they said some words of jimmy and (dont quote me) he predicted his death. he seemed to know he would die early so it makes sence that he would write this about him self as one of those "goin out with a boom" songs. so his name lives on even through death and his music hasnt ended yet even though he long past our mortal world.

Sisco95 is correct. he did right the song about himself. He was on drugs and drinking alcohol constantly. He was the cliche' role of a rockstar. But he was a great drummer at that. One of the best in my eyes.
But not only did it reflect on himself. It did reflect on jimmy's death. His death was a nightmare to the band. Yes they found a new drummer but you still can't replace a person you were once close to. I read several articles about his death and it all said he was a partier and that he died from...

I read several articles about his death and it all said he was a partier and that he died from natural causes--heart attack. what 28 year old man dies from a heart attack? That isn't very often because of health it was because of a drug. More than likely cocaine. If you thnk about it sisco is right he saw death coming near. Which is a terrible thought. Anyway, it was about jimmy. You really can't see it as anyone else.
He was NOT some drug addict who overdosed or some shit. He was on prescription medication for a rare condition that meant he had an enlarged heart. He was at a wedding that day and got drunk, got home, and forgot that he'd already taken his meds that day and the overdose combined with being very drunk caused a major heart attack.

Another name for a deadly combo of drugs and alcohol is called a "brompton cocktail", so make of that what you will. Some people say that it was suicide because of this. I just think it was an accidental thing. But you can't go around thinking he was some drugged up rock star, he wasn't, it was either an accidental overdose or suicide, with PRESCRIPTION medication, not cocaine.
