Absolutely, this song sounds like somebody who has killed themselves. An epitaph for that person with a wonderment of how anybody could ever possibly do that: "What commitment, what grace to just refuse to be alive!" It's ridiculously sad because it's from the perspective of not only a friend, but somebody who has never understood what it means to be suicidally depressed, so he feels at an impasse when it comes to judging this dead friend's actions.
