I agree with everyone else’s interpretation completely. There is a little bit of ambiguity to the lyrics so it allows everyone to interpret it differently.
When I listen to the song it sounds like a man who’s contemplating taking his life. It seems like he feels disconnected from the world and is having a somewhat surreal, intoxicated, out of body experience. He doesn’t want to rely on medication, and he feels as though he has run out of options. The more he thinks about taking his life the more it seems to make sense to him. His secret is that he’s suicidal and doesn’t want to inform anyone. The light encounter he refers to is almost like his encounter with an angel or death. “Calm as the wind you’ll watch me go.”
