	I definetly think it is about death. This song has a chilling air to it, like a cold day where the coldness seems to go straight to the bone. The music is both unnerving and brilliant.

	I don't think this songs about suicide but it is about wanting to die (eventually). I agree with Regos the sane, its about not wanting to live forever. Humankind is so obsessed and scared over the concept of death. People often talk about how great it would be to live forever and science is constantly extending the average human life expectancy. This song is Eds way of saying that he can't identify with humanities fear of death and that when his time comes no one will be able to keep him here. Many of the lyrics are about all the things he looks forward to experiencing in death (things that he wouldn't get to experience if he lived forever). He wants to leave his mortal cares behind some day and find out what its like to die. Death is after all one of the great mysteries, whether you're religous, agnostic, or an atheist no one really KNOWS what happens when you die and I think Ed's saying he wants to find out. Also I think in that second to last line where he replaces "I DON'T live forever" with "I WILL live forever", hes expressing the idea that you don't have to look at death as an end, its only the recycling of energy and matter so that life can continue in other forms.

	and if this song was about death then how would "i've lived all these lives it's been wonderful at night" fit in to death maybe it applies to both, maybe this man is sick of living through his dreams when nothing is going well for him and he just wants to die, but i stand by my interpretation i forgot to explain that my point when i said eddie didnt write other side was that maybe eddie and jeff(im not positive jeff wrote other side but i thnk he did) have different views on what the term other side means-either death or dreaming
