I honestly don't believe this song has something to do with him been dead, I think he's emotionally wrecked. However I do agree that it has something to do with the woman in his life, but then again I do see why other people interperate this song in so many ways. They're has to be quite a few meanings that can come from this, but we all think differently, so this song will mean different things to each person. "I'm not afraid; atleast not to die. I'm afraid to live and not remember why" My favourite lyrics throughout the whole song.
