This song is about overcoming something that really put the person down. Maybe it's depression, or maybe a deed or situation he's been through. And obviously he blames himself for it.
That 'something' is sang about in the first sentence of the song "You wasted all yout chances... To find yourself lost and lonely..."
The suffering the person went through made him wish his own death, that's what I get from the second sentence, in portuguese.
Then the possibility of redemption flourishes in the third, the chorus. "Cante uma canção desconhecida" means "Sing an unknown song", and I take it signifies 'embrace what is to come', as if cheering the person for the unknown future.
The pain however doesn't pass comepletely, as he finds himself at the end of his life listening to the advices he received before, and wondering about religious beliefs. Beliefs that he doesn't fancy, as if the pain was greater than whatever truth people may trust.
In the end its a conflict between wanting to find his redemption in life or in death.
