I don't think he's made any statement as to whether he wants to or not, just 
about how it is.  Sounds like he's thinking some about life and death, too, 
as he's thrown in some thoughts about that.

The last sentence is definitely metaphysical, a Pete play on becoming one.  
1) When we die we lose our individuality and reunite with the universe.  2) 
There's a parallel to this that says you can find spiritual salvation by 
symbolically dying, by giving up your ego or individuality so you can become 
one with God, or creation, depending on the particulars of your belief.  3) 
Pete's given up his ego to become one with The Who.

I guess that makes it a spiritual experience.  :)
