The meaning of this song is not just carpe diem, it is much more angelic than that.
Throughout the whole song he is talking about the work he goes through he is describing the pain and anguish he goes trough, "but tonight we dance". So yes it would seem like a seize the moment type song until the very end.
"And for this I will travel in darkness
For what seems like days.
I crawled from the sinkholes,
Collapsed under this weight.
I know not your sorrow,
But I know mine.
So say you'll stay
And dance with me tonight."
He is describing his own personal anguish and just wants to dance, "and for this i travel in darkness" "and for this... i crawled from the sinkholes", "and for this... i collapsed under this weight" so for this one thing, this one dance just tonight he is willing to go through this hell of his. At the end he is pleading with this person to "say you'll stay And dance with me tonight."
I think this is about finding that one thing that makes your own personal troubles worth living, your one "dance."
