Well, it seems that this song is maybe strongly influenced by The Velvet Underground's "Pale Blue Eyes". At least in the opening of both songs, when Red and Linkous refer to how they feel about a person, Red sings "Sometimes I feel so happy, Sometimes I feel so sad, Sometimes I feel so happy, but mostly you just make me mad..." Then Linkus grabs the spirit of Lou Red's song by singing "sometimes I get so sad sometimes you just make me mad".
Also, the rhythms are quite the same and at a slow pace, and they may talk about a sad guy who is in love with someone but their sad feelings are even bigger than that relationship.
Linkus make his song about that duality between good and bad things and how they're connected up to some point you know. They say behind every beautiful thing there has been some kind of pain as Dylan sang in Not Dark Yet.
I don't know why Linkus committed suicide, and probably the little details are less important than the whole context, in this song we can see how sadness domain his existence even back in 1995 when this precious record came out.
