  My Opinion:It can be a suicide note or just a note that says he must leave the world, the death is waiting for him, and if he dies, he would be in a better place.
  But he love his friends, fans etc... and ask them not to forget him
  
  that's what I think
  (sorry for my bad english)

  General Comment:You should read dave's auto biograpy... it explains the whole being dropped of MTV thing and how it was 1st perceived as a song about suicide... Its not, dave has said as much in the book. This is one of the most sincere metal songs ever written, this guy is singing with his heart on his sleeve (to use a well clichèd line).

  General Comment:The song was written when Dave Mustaine returned from the dead after taking an overdose before writing the album Youthanasia, was killed a few minutes and resuscitated in the emergency room, the song is about his experience and his reasoning after his affair with death.

    Alemay3 speaks what the message is with this song, on wikipedia you can read that mustaine said that it's about loved ones dying, and what they would say if they had 3 seconds to live, that's the french part "to all the world, to all my friends, I love you all, but I have to leave"
    
    so it's no wonder he got the inspiration from that dream

  General Comment:This is not a suicide note, it is just a song about death and dying. Right before Megadeth was supposed to play this song at a live show, Dave Mustaine thought that they were about to play "Skin O` My Teeth", so he said "This song is about how many times I`ve tried to kill myself". They then played "A Tout Le Monde", and he just went with it.

  General Comment:On Feb. '93 Megadeth was booked to play the Budokan Arena in Tokyo, Japan. A few days before leaving for Japan, they played a show in Eugene, Oregon. During that concert Mustaine was a disaster, at the time he was still struggling with addiction and alcoholism. And to make matters worse, the barricades at the front of the stage suddenly broke and the fans rushed the stage and started a riot. Mustaine and the rest of the band left the venue but shortly after, Mustaine collapsed from the alcohol and drugs in his body.He was rushed to a hospital, but upon arriving at the emergency room Mustaine died. Dave WAS resuscitated at the hospital. After that, he was sent to a rehab center to get over his addiction. That's how he got the inspiration to write this amazing song. Dave wanted people to know loved them in case he doesnt have a chance to say it then he dies:
  
  "What it is, it's, you, it's when people have a loved one that dies and they end on a bad note, you know, they wish that they could say something to them. So this is an opportunity for the deceased to say something before they go. And it was my impression of what I would like to say to people, if I had say, 3 seconds to do so in life before I died I'd say to the entire world, to all my friends, I love you all, and now I must go. These are the last words I'll ever speak, and they'll set me free. I don't have to say I'm sorry, I don't have to say I'm going to miss you, or I'll wait for ya. You know, I'll just say I loved you all, good, bad, indifferent, I loved you all."
  
  -Dave Mustaine

  General Comment:This song is often misinterpreted
  to be about suicide, as the lyrics
  can be heard as a suicide note.
  On September 13, 2006, Kimveer
  Gill went on a shooting rampage
  at Dawson College in Montreal,
  eventually shooting himself. He
  was a fan of Megadeth and
  mentioned this song on his blog,
  which prompted Dave Mustaine,
  who wrote the song, to make
  this statement the next day:
  "Like everyone else, I am
  horrified and disgusted by the
  tragic events of yesterday. We
  will pray for everyone who has
  been hurt, and all the families
  that are suffering. 'A Tout Le
  Monde' is based on a dream I
  had, where my mother came
  back from heaven to say 'I love
  you.' It's about me talking to her
  again."
  Mustaine: "We don't write music
  that has any kind of suggestion
  about taking one's life. It is more
  like, 'Hey, we have a problem,
  let's be part of the solution'."
  MTV banned the video because
  they thought it promoted
  suicide. They did show it after
  some special comments were
  added, explaining how many kids
  commit suicide every year in the
  US. This message appeared at
  the end of the video: "Suicide is
  not an answer. Get help." The
  woman and child in the video are
  Mustaine's wife Pam and son,
  Justis. (thanks, Dae -
  Paraparaumu, New Zealand, for
  all above)
  Part of the chorus is in French.
  The translation: "To all the world,
  To all my friends, I love you, I
  have to leave."
