Funny story that turned into a "ah-ha!" moment for this song.
Yesterday I bought an Izze Sparkling Blackberry drink (I dunno if any of you have heard of it, but it's my favorite and it comes in a glass bottle). Anyway, I hadn't had one in a long time so I was sooooo excited to drink it! I saved it for when I got home so that I could have it with dinner. I cooked my dinner still without drinking it, and finally went to eat/drink and BAM I knocked it on the floor and it shattered!!!! I wanted to cry (it was just one of those long frustrating days and that was my "reward").
In case you can't guess where this is going now (hehe) all I could think was "a lesson in how fleeting preservation is". I.e. what's the point of "preserving" things when lots of times the preservation doesn't even last (like the old meatball in tinfoil- I imagine it to be all moldy and old now, but at the time I'm sure someone was like "mmm! save that for later!). So it kind of made me start thinking of this song as an "enjoy things now while you can't, don't wait for later since it's not even promised to us!"

That's my 2 cents. :D
Two things...

That is my favourite drink too! Didn't know other people like it as much.

And also, totally agree and have had very similar experiences so many times, maybe now I'll learn my lesson (about how fleeting preservation is :) )
