Who knows what the song really does mean to Scott, but I have always thought of it to be more symbolic of the lower points in his life, (we all know the story) and maybe even dealing with his drug addiction.  Over all I see it to be more of that type of song instead of one about death, suicide, etc.  I feel that the whole "six feet down" is more symbolic than literal.  It could even be about the whole fame and success thing, you know, like taking away his normal life.  I'm not saying that this is all the song is about, but I've always had the feeling with a lot of Creed songs that he's addressing a few issues instead of having just one main topic.  Oh well, that's just my two cents.
