To me, this song is about someone that's felt isolated and depressed for so long, and finally they've broken out of their misery and into the world. They 'want to see people and want to see life'. Finally they're out there, living it up, but they're scared that the moment's going to end and so they want to die there and then, at their happiest. Such a bittersweet song.
I described that pretty badly and rambled a lot, but that's my interpretation. I absolutely adore this song. It definitely makes my all time top ten favourites.
@w0nderful I think you actually described it really well. That mix of relief, joy and fear of losing it again is what makes the song hit so hard. The line about wanting to see people and life feels like a rebirth, but the wish to “end it there” shows how fragile that happiness feels. It’s hopeful and heartbreaking at the same time, which is probably why it sticks with people and earns a place in a top ten.
