This song in my opinion (yes the whole song) is about how people that are badly injured or damaged and are being kept alive by doctors with machines is NOT really living, and the patients would rather that doctors would improve the quality of life instead of preventing death. This is basically saying that being kept alive with no arms or legs and having feeding tubes and being unable to hear, see, or speak to or interact with anyone or anything else is not really living anymore and they would rather die. in some cases death prevention is inhumane.
