In my opinion, although these lyrics were in Suckerpunch and pertain to that movie.
They were also written long before, as well as being used in Fight Club.
So having said that, i tend to see it as "any" type of mental escape.
Perhaps dream or daydream.
Perhaps a mental block or happy place, to avoid dealing with one's current situation.
It does lend itself to a person's struggle with the idea of suicide, or something as extremely tragic as that.
This is my honest opinion....as i personally went through all of the above.
To this day, i see it as a personal reminder of how close one can come to letting go, but finding a reason to stay.
I indulge the daydream, and remember my state of mind.
But i do so to make myself stronger.
So....this song could be seen as tragic and indeed, bittersweet.
But it can also be viewed as - it's ok that you may get to such a point (as many do), yet still make it back.
