I don't think its the promise of never seeing an afterlife if you kill yourself that keeps Isaac from doing it. That's a very religious view. I think it's more that he doesn't have the ability to do it, and he can't let down those who really care for him. So instead, he hopes for accidental death to carry him on to the next part of this crazy existence. Like it has been said, this song is a cover, he chose to cover this song because I really do think he feels very real towards it. He has gone through deep depression, lots of drugs (searching and running from something, and eventually it just makes you feel so alone when you use drugs for those reasons) and this is just a very typical use of religious view to portray how he feels. Its just real, and I think a lot of us have been there, and wished for the same. There is a lot more out there after this little experience we call life is over. Its funny how the more you really understand the reality around you, and maybe deal with psychedelics, you gain a peace towards the idea of dying, and you are convinced that this is just a leg of the journey. I think Isaac believes it just as much as I do.
