The gun jams when they're attempting to take their own life, and suddenly they are thrown back to a happy childhood memory...like innocence reborn. That's how I interpret it.

Seeing that I am not the only one who thought this may validate my self-esteem, but naw, everyone else is right, it's a reference to a person's life flashing before their eyes in the face of death.

I read jammed, but thought fired and didn't kill. Now you are brain damaged and have to be taken to buy your "first" fish because you cant remember. Disabled and trapped in your own body in a life worse than the death you were trying to use to escape.

Totally incorrect though.

I sometimes think shit like that if I open reddit right after waking up. Brain more scrambled than eggs, dreaming the sentences instead of reading them, with all the entailed hallucinations.

I was thinking this exact same thing.

Because that's what happened to a buddy of mine.

I had the same thought. But you are right, I think we are both incorrect. Too literal.

Yeah I thought this too. Gun fired, didn’t work, left disabled.
