Well its kind of obvious. It's about embracing death. "Don’t try to wake me in the morning cause I will be gone"
I think it was inspired by Keats.

While I agree with the other poster that the song is about "embracing death" I think the true meaning of the song is even more obvious - suicide.

I agree that this song is about suicide. Perhaps it's about euthanization as well, with the lyric "Sing me to sleep."

I think that the person is confused as to if he wants to die or not. I think the person is just looking for a better place and that place just might be heaven. The lyrics change from 'sing me to sleep' to 'sing to me', I think that holds some significance.

This song is about suicide. First off: "Im tired and I want to go to bed." This is not literal. He wants to die. Second: "Sing me to sleep and then leave me. Don't try to wake me in the morning cause i will be gone." He wants to let us know that he wants to die alone. He won't be able to be woken up because he is gone aka dead. The song goes on to say he is glad to go, he knows there is a better world. He doesn't want to wake up on his own anymore: he feels alone and abandoned in this world. (just the way i felt when i was deeply depressed) There can only be hop for a better world after this one. Suicide may be the only way he feels that he can be at peace.

It's about a cancer (terminally ill) patient, wishing to die and ready to go, but not wanting to go until they have said goodbye. Sing me to sleep and increase the medication ( I'm ready to go) and be there with me while I die, but don't expect me to be there in the morning.
