the beauty of this song is the description of what it feels like to be dying - futility, and anger, and hopelessness, and all of the other things that those of us who have come so close to the end have experienced. whether it's about depression, or disease, or all the other things that kill us, it speaks to the idea that life is worth it, that our struggle in this world, while futile, still worth it.
"I'll mark off each day with a cross, and I'll laugh about all that we've lost."
