It's definitely about the fall of society, like in the movie Book of Eli or Post-Man. But I think its also addressing two different responses to the end of a broken society: first there is the boy "He looked at the field and then his hands. All I need is what I have." He is resilient and he is happy for a second chance. He is looking to the future and what he can make for himself. Then there is his partner , the girl. "Is this the end of yesterday?" while the boy is looking to the future and hope, the girl sees her past life and lifestyle breakdown and collapse. She is filled with trepidation and fear of what's to come.
