Actually listening to the lyrics, it seems like a love song more than anything.
When love is gone, where does it go?
and where do we go?
It's when something is over, but you don't know what the hell to do with yourself. If you were ever really infatuated with someone to a painful degree, it's easy to see what the song is pointing to. There is a desperate sense of hanging on and demanding to know "can we work it out?"
The point is that no, it doesn't work out. This song is just the desperation of losing love and trying to figure out what the hell to do afterwards. A different type of afterlife.
I think this sort of says it all:
"It was just a glimpse of you
Like looking through a window
Or a shallow sea
Could you see me?"
Could you see me? The lover doesn't even see you or recognize you, though you're hanging onto their image still.

It's a great song, really.
