Certainly, mysterious, but dreary?

I don't think it shows suicidal thoughts and tendencies at all but rather a resignation to living with other people. He may be talking about his relationship with his girlfriend. The point is that he wants the relationship to go more smoothly.

Evident, sure, may be maturity, but listen to the music, it is anything but dreary and sad. The nonsensical lines, which one might gather as stemming from being stoned, suggest that other lines may not be so concrete. It may be a reference to the song, 'The End', which started out as a simple {lost} love song, with a large section inserted into the middle. Being that he is worried about the relationship ending even as he is wanting the troubled part of the relationship to end. That is, he is torn and troubled, and while serious actions may cross the mind, that is a massive over~simplification of life's situations and solutions, and wouldn't be all that mature.

It isn't dreariness so much as resigning to the complications of a growing relationship, conflictions to his changing position in the world~ he, like Hendrix, were moving on, but were their fans~ possible complications from hard living and medical problems to overcome, the quandaries of being an artist, and how to connect with a market~driven world.

World~weary, perhaps, but not dreary.
