There are two "senses" of meaning: the literal (actual) and the figurative (suggested). If you give us an example, we might be able to help you distinguish the differences.

The literal sense is that death is the end of life as we know it. Figurative interpretations could lead to the concept of afterlife, reincarnation, etc. I, myself, find the allusion to be confusing.
