I could be totally off my rocker here, but I think it might be about someone who has found out they're dying, but is renewed by the knowledge and chooses to live positively rather than mope around.
"Knowledge came and devastated
Pressure building behind her eyes
Breathing buried under the weight
Will she, has she died also this day"
I think this is where the person finds out they have some terminal illness (brain cancer? that would be "behind her eyes"...).
"Her death has been swallowed up by life
This dead will rise
Dying to death and raising to life
The moment we became alive death was waiting, chasing
And all of us fell and kept breathing
One day, today
A spirit's alive, a body has died"
"Her death has been swallowed up by life" means, to me, that she chooses to live it out, instead of being depressed about imminent death. She knows that she will die, but wants to live as best she can before then, and she believes that once she does die she'll be brought into the afterlife anyway.
Overall I think this song is about the human capacity to fall, and get back up again. It's a really beautiful song, anyway, no matter what it's about.
