when i hear this song i think of a young man about to kill himself in the springtime when people are normally supposed to feel happy. he writes a letter to his family explaining why. the grandmother line makes it sound as if they have a history of depression in their family. he tells his family that he wants them to remember him at his best, not how bad he had gotten when he was just about to kill himself. he explains that he got tired and that it was going to happen anyway ( ie the setting sun comment). suddenly he started feeling better so he decided that he would stay and his brother finds out and he tells him that if he kills himself he will too. the last few parts are really sad.
