Maybe you’re used to random music lyrics (usually something from Bruce Cockburn), so this is new – a Shakespeare quote:

To die, to sleep
-“Hamlet”

But the sight of this very sketchy mattress in an abandoned building that was behind another abandoned building – and I’m not even going to talk about that pentagram painted on the wall – definitely brought the word “die” to mind. And from there, it was a short leap to Hamlet.
