The coming to the reckoning for him that this is the absolute end of this strange, blessed, wonderful life that he had led, including all the things around him, the nature, the beauty, the people, everything. And he could not simply accept giving it away, because he understood the full gravity of what that meant. Bowie was extraordinary in his honesty to his work, but perhaps this is just my interpretation of a beautiful, passionate song.
