Definitely a good read! I'm completely convinced that Lazarus is a song by a man who knows he's going to die.

    “I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, "Fuck that. I want to be a superhuman.” ― David Bowie.

Compare the lyrics of the song to that quote and it really seems like he is the character in the song. Blackstar was already getting rave reviews before his death and at this point it's inevitable that's going to be referred to as a masterpiece.
