I saw Jenny Lewis in concert and she said about this song, "I think this song is about the afterlife, but I'm not sure yet." Makes sense when you listen to Jenny's music. She has a great ability to describe an image, a scene, and convey some metaphorical meaning in it. I can believe the image of black sand, maybe wet sand on the beach at night with just slight moonlight illuminating, giving off the appearance of black sand, would lead someone to think of death and the afterlife.
