I too find this song to be an introspective exploration on the meaning of one's life where the consequence of one's selfishness is realized and debated.
My only modification to the interpretation would be to re-think what is going on in the 6th verse
Gold teeth and gold jewelry
every piece of your dowry
throw them into the tomb with me
bury them with my name
I think in this verse he is pleading with the rest of the world, with all of society, to throw away its selfish habits with him when he passes. Asking that he would be the last to have to suffer with these lonely realizations.
Really sets the mood for the rest of the album, no?
