It means the dead body decomposes and knows nothing.
Personally, I believe when we die, our bodies decompose, but our souls go back to the God that gave it. We die, and even though time continues on this earth, the very next thing we experience after the point of death is being awakened by God for judgement. So we don’t even realize time had passed from the second we closed our eyes at death, to the point where we open them right up.
Just like if a person goes to sleep, time passes, but it doesn’t feel like it to the person that just woke up. Then they wake up, and remember things right before they went to bed (exluding dreams of course). So in a way we are in a “soul sleep’ but in a way not really, since it will be like closing our eyes in death, and then opening them right back up to see God during judgement/resurrection. That is all I think we will experience.
