"My death waits there

In a double bed

Sails of oblivion, at my head

So pull up the sheets against

The passing time..."

Bowie made the song "My Death" in the 70s, and I feel that "Lazarus" references that imagery when he pulls the sheets up on his hospital bed, seemingly in terror.

Bowie's Blackstar is one of the most profound works of art I've ever seen. He really did make his death something precious. And he gave a gift to all his fans, who can use his art as a touchstone as they themselves approach their own deaths.
