I think he's still alive at this point, because you hear the beeping machine at the beginning. But he's thinking and or preparing for his funeral, "throw on the black dress." He's also thinking about how no one will really miss him, "I'll expect you won't cry". I think it's also saying he died young. I also thinks he hates being in the hospital, and wants to die at his home or with a loved one.
