I interpret it as kind of a two part song. One part reminds me of the history in the garden when satan/death was tempting Eve, and then came the fall of mankind but we kept breathing even though our spirits died. And then Christ who is Life, died and swallowed up death giving us the ability to spiritually rise from the dead.
And then the other part of interpretation I think we all can relate to is our own personal encounter with Christ. If you've ever seen the Lifehouse Skit on Youtube it kind of sums it up perfectly. The weight of the world and sin weighs us down and leaves us empty or longing for death. But then God raises us back to life and frees us from death.
I absolutely love this song, I get goosebumps everytime.
