Personally, i disagree. i see it as a representation of a form of a judgement day, were people are judged by there passed actions. the idea that, though he thinks he may pass the judgement an be happy for it [if we make it we can all sit back and laugh], but he [the narrator] feels that he wont be able to. I think that the deeper meaning is that of how our past actions can lead to future regrets.
