Cover art for The Year Before the Year 2000 lyrics by Les Savy Fav

It's a rather well-worded way of saying "Whether the end is going to happen soon or not, enjoy life."

Referring to the year 2000, when there was a lot of religious controversy about the rapture. Life was supposed to end, and some believed it, others did not. Either way, have fun and party like the world just might end. Life isn't eternal.
