This is about Thanatos vs. Eros, or Death Instinct vs. Self-preservation which are personified by my skelies.
Also the nerves that are anchoring the feet are spilling a type of Morse Code.

Personally I've never acted out my death drive but the thought of self-destruction has crossed my mind (i.e. thought of what it would be like to drive off of a bridge).
From my own perspective, this isn't about suicidal thoughts but more about the curiosity of what death would bring.  "morbid ain't it"

Death is the final frontier of human exploration.

Faintly reminiscent of Aeon Flux, somehow... The skillful treatment of something that should be a lot more grody than it is... ;-)
