@tiffany The lyrics to Lazarus are haunting in retrospect http://m.imgur.com/DmltV4h,1byUDpJ Those first lines talking about how he's up in heaven and that he's got scars no one can see, you can tell he was dying and knew it, but didn't make it publicly known. Interestingly enough, the ending of the song seems to draw reference Charles Bukowski's "Bluebird", which was a poem all about the fear of letting go and revealing oneself. The poem had many themes of alienation and the release of death too, and the dichotomy between the freedom it provided and the heartbreak it caused.
