I think this song is about at the end of a life - "a shortened final soul" ... "the life that cuts the cold now is in your past". And instead of the idea of an afterlife, you just go away.
And all of the rich memories and thoughts and ideas do too. They are unreflected, they don't continue. And even though it was a full life, at the end there's not much really to say. It's done; "In our memories we don't have much to say".

It's very sad to me, but also beautiful.
