This song is imo about death AND life and how we live it. How different we all are - still we have one thing in common: we shall all die. And he is asking the listener "Who are you?" Makes you think. I love this song, but the best version is the one from "Cohen Live".

Really, its asking the listener how they'll die, isn't it? So unsettling.
