Text on the meme

Death during consensual sex From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia • Nelson Rockefeller, former Vice President of the United States and heir to the Rockefeller family fortune, died in 1979 of a heart attack at age 70, rumored to be caused by an orgasm during intercourse with his secretary, Megan Marshack. The unusual circumstances surrounding his death caused New York magazine to quip, "Nelson thought he was coming, but he was going".

What it means

The joke comes from the grimly worded headline and the pun about him "coming" and "going," making it a dark-humor reaction to an unusually embarrassing death.
