That movie is damn near impossible to explain, but I'll try. Donnie had to die to fix everything that had resulted from his NOT dying in the beginning of the movie. Everything that happens in the film is directly or indirectly connected to his escaping death. That's basically what the bunny is telling him. He basically comes to realize that he's on a collision course and either he has to die or terrible things will happen to the people he cares about.

It's a hard thing to explain, but he is almost a martyr, he has to die to save the others and the world. I found a little snippet...Director's interpretation
Director Richard Kelly does not deny personal interpretations but has expressed his own theories through the extra commentary on the two DVDs, his own (fictional) book the Philosophy of Time Travel, and in various other interviews.
According to Kelly and his Philosophy of Time Travel, at midnight on October 2 a Tangent Universe branches off the Primary Universe around the time when Donnie is called out of his bedroom by Frank, immediately before the appearance of the Artifact, the errant jet engine. The inherently unstable Tangent Universe will collapse in just over 28 days and take the Primary Universe with it if not corrected. Closing the Tangent Universe is the duty of the Living Receiver, Donnie, who wields certain supernatural powers to help him in the task.
Those who have died/will die within the Tangent Universe are the Manipulated Dead (Frank and Gretchen). Manipulated Dead Frank at least is also given certain powers in that he is able to subtly understand what is happening and have the ability to contact and influence the Living Receiver via the Fourth Dimensional Construct (water). All others within the orbit of the Living Receiver are the Manipulated Living (e.g. Ms. Pomeroy, Dr. Monnitoff), subconsciously drawn to push him towards his destiny to close the Tangent Universe and, according to the Philosophy of Time Travel, die by the Artifact.
There are two "Franks" in the story: the living boyfriend of Donnie's sister Elizabeth, and the Manipulated Dead Frank who appears to Donnie as a premonition from the future in the disturbing rabbit suit (the second Frank is dead, or undead, for at the end of the film he is killed by Donnie). Dead Frank, as the most powerful of the Manipulated Dead is aware of Donnie's fate and destiny, and has the ability to appear to Donnie via time travel and thus guide him. Frank alone consciously understands that the world is doomed if Donnie either dies on the "first" October 2 or if he lives but cannot complete his quest.
It's confusing but I hope it helps.

if donnie lives, everyone he loves suffers, and several people die, such as gretchen, the guy he shot, etc. In addition, if he lived again, something would have been messed up with time or something like that

Cause he realised he was in the worst movie ever...
OK that may have been a little cynical. Basically he had to die to restore the girl back to life. Sacrificing himself for love.

That's the way the script was written.
