Afterlife Lyrics

Cover art for Afterlife lyrics by Arcade Fire

I feel like this song is about the end of a relationship. The after life of a break up. Where does the love go when you break up?

"And after this Can it last another night?"

I feel like he's asking to work out the relationship because if not he will be lost in the after life.

I actually feel its about the lack or extermination of love in an existing relationship. "It's just an afterlife, with you.". They are still together but the love is lost.
