As far as the meaning of this song, this seems to be the typical, "you've only got one life to live, so do something with it" BR song. Although, I love the imagery and the language in this song. The "porcelain and alabaster" gives you the impression that there are people so fake, and so deprived of living that they are doll-like, perhaps lost to the memory of a better day, or just in their own hopes for eternity.
