I believe this song to mean that, as always in our frail form of flash and blood, we are dying as soon as we are born -
"I told you once
But I'll say it again
When you live the flesh
It's the beginning of the end"
-This lyric also alludes to this theory
"It builds you up
One way and tears you right back down
A time to begin
The end of all time"
Basically, we walk this earth for a short period of time, then we die. We get sucked in to the fact that our lives mean something, then it becomes clear enough that the end is all that's in store for us. That's one way of seeing it I guess, and I think that's the way Chuck was portraying life.
I don't particularly believe in God myself, so I have no idea whether or not there is an afterlife - but I believe we may go on to somewhere else, all that energy in us can't be there just to evaporate.
