Cancer for my education
Watch the body hit the files
Always wondered about this bit.
Being non-english doesn't help.
Any suggestions?
Indeed.

He's only gone and donated his body for medical research!
Srsly though, is the narrator solely experiencing mortality through the lottery of cancer (as we're rather divorced from death - and birth for that matter - in the first world). Lesson unlearned he goes on to become just another statistic.
*my standard waiver applies in that I tend to treat the vocal as another melody line so I'm not very well versed in lyrical analysis (ahem)*

I think we've been in here too long. I feel unusual. I think we should go outside.

Surely better than waiting ...Cancer for my education
Watch the body hit the files
The aforementioned suicide and its circumstances as much as the obvious state of affairs for countless human beings contradict and erode
the values the author was introduced to by education, and in which he
believes. Now another single person falls like a drop from a cloud and there is merely a body registered ... committing suicide nullifies the societal value and recognition of a person on part of the authorities and their subjects ...
And further on:
In this ongoing destruction the author - and the people mentioned in the second part - are waiting for the next war to come
- and again for the announcement/confirmation of the love promised by their cultural background and education as a reward for their participation or non-participation, respectively, thus making themselves possibly next in the line ...
