It's about being really, really, really depressed. Feeling alone, then being glad that you made it through that bad time in your life (i.e. you didn't kill yourself). Possibly being glad because it made you a stronger person to go through that time.

Actually its about Daron's brother dying in a house fire...if u havent realized all the fire in the video. that day he went and got a shitload of tatoos all over his body. He was obviously very depressed

i think your right actually at first i thought it was about how nobody cares to notice the world burning in front of them as you see in the music video but if you about 50 seconds into the video a lady walks by a window that has the pink floyd wish you were here album cover in the reflection and that song was about syd barret who sort of went crazy because of lsd and how the band members miss him after they kicked him out of the band much like how daron probably misses his brother

@pfguitar111 Daron is an only child so the song can not possibly be about his brother, The fire is probably a way to visualise depression in a larger scale.
