Why is it called the West?
In the past people believed the garden of Eden lay in the East, and to this day the benches in churches are positioned so you face East.
The expression "to go West" means to die.
This is in the wikipedia article on Osiris:
>He was also associated with the epithet Khenti-Amentiu, meaning "Foremost of the Westerners", a reference to his kingship in the land of the dead.[4] As ruler of the dead, Osiris was also sometimes called "king of the living": ancient Egyptians considered the blessed dead "the living ones".

Sun sets in the west. It's in the lyrics of taps.

Ok, the OP was unclear. I meant the West not as in West, but THE West, i.e. the Western World.
Maybe it's got something to do with being dead, being in hell etc.

It means go towards the Pacific if you're in America, you fucking idiot. The song is about being a faggot and moving to San Francisco.

Never heard the use of 'go west' to mean to die.
But it makes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNBjMRvOB5M much clearer
