I take this song, not necessarily portraying someone on their death bed. Instead, I see this song as someone who has just had an epiphany of sorts. Having a sudden realization on how they've lieved thus far and what they've become. She is truly content with the way she has lived her life, and if she were to leave the world at that particular moment, she would be happy with everything.
I also see it as a stance of independence and individuality and the idea that one is in complete control of their path in life. In the second verse, we see the independence. Much like a mirror of what transcendentalists would hold near and dear to them. Being able to depend entirely upon ones own being and not needing others to fulfil their hapiness but instead rejoicing in individuality. In the thrid verse, Neko talks of death. She portrays a fearlessness in dying at that very moment. And that even in her death, she still "owns every bell" that would toll her away.
All of this is based purely on opinion and what I take from this song. It remains one of my favorite Neko songs.
