It's about getting older, looking back and realizing that you're not who you thought you were, and unsure as to who you are or can be.

One of those moments everyone has at a particular "stage" of life.

My Interpretation

Im 50 and I totally agree you could interpret this song that way...however i feel its most likely about being dead, then revived and not feeling great about it...in fact hes depressed as hell as his wife and family are overjoyed he survived...kinda like people that survive plane crashes and can never put together WHY? how come 151 died and i survived?
