Awesome Song. One of their best I would say. I think the song is about life after pain, and also what suede67 said, learning from mistakes. Gary has said that he has been through a lot with a certain girl, hurt and things like that, but I think this song is almost like Gary has moved on from that e.g. when he says "this is fun, this is fun, it's the most fun I remember. It's the fight, it's the fight that we are winning...' (In real life Gary is now dating Lisa Hannigan) so that could explain a lot itself.
The song is afterall named 'The Afterlife' and even that alone speaks volumes. Is Gary referring to the afterlife of pain? I'm guessing he is. Being in a new life of some sort. Some of these lyrics sound slightly happier than a lot of other stuff he has done. This is just my guess.
