I'm sad, Sandra, cause if I die

I won't see my daughter high
The speaker won't be able to witness their daughter being high, possibly on life or experiences.
When she'll come home drunk at midnight

Spewing joyfully her prime
The daughter is joyfully expressing herself while intoxicated.
We would stare ourselves in worry
The speaker and Sandra share a concerned look as they check the clock, worrying about the daughter's well-being.
Checking the clock twice
They are anxiously checking the time twice.
Then scurrying to the door
They rush to the door upon hearing the daughter fumbling with keys.
As soon as we hear a sound of keys falling to the ground I'm sad, Sandra, and I'm slowly dying
Expressing ongoing sadness and a feeling of slowly dying.
But I've decided to lie
The speaker has chosen to lie about their true feelings.
I won't tell you how I'll miss

The scent of your hair while I kiss'em
Describing a sentimental moment with Sandra involving the scent of her hair.
I'll disappear as a burning leaf

With smoke and some kind of relief
Despite the imagined relief, there is still fear in the speaker's mind.
But in my mind I'm still afraid
Expressing a fear of death and a desire not to die at this moment.
I don't wanna die now
Reiterating the speaker's reluctance to die.
Cause if I die, I die alone
If the speaker dies, they will do so alone and without company.
And ascending like a drone
The imagery of ascending like a drone suggests a sense of detachment or isolation in death.
I'll be unnoticed in two years
The speaker anticipates being unnoticed two years after death, with memories fading away without causing tears.
My memory gone with ease, no more tears I'm sad, Sandra, now you know why
Emphasizing that the memory of the speaker will fade without causing sorrow.
Don't worry I'm a tough guy
The speaker reassures Sandra about their strength despite the internal struggle.
I no longer want to talk
The speaker no longer desires conversation, anticipating a significant event (insulin shock).
Here it comes the last insulin shock
The speaker hints at the finality of life with the mention of the last insulin shock.
This life turned out to be futile
Reflecting on the perceived futility of life.
My body feels so stupid
The speaker's body feels foolish or out of place.
Don't forget as I go with the flow
A reminder not to forget the speaker as they navigate the uncertainties of life.
I'm shooting my last free throw

Cause if I die, I die alone

And ascending like a drone
