I think it's about leaving things behind like @NightfallGemini say, either suicide or literally leaving all things behind.
He talks about the world and space collapsing and falling apart. He's leaving and not looking back on what he's leaving. Maybe telling others to "OPEN THEIR EYES" he was ignored, but now that all falls apart and lights go out, he will have already escaped before everyone sees what he's talking about. I like how the references to suicide are paired with symbolism from a man who escapes before a horrible disaster hits. It's almost like he's comparing peoples attitudes towards him, to those of the people who mock the man who escapes before all goes wrong. He shows that once people "open their eyes" they will have nothing but silence from him, because he will be gone.
