Well it seems reasonably obvious what this song is about, but what I find particularly telling is that it isn't a drab or dark song, other than perhaps the subject matter. In converse to the lyrical message, the music is uplifting, powerful, and joyous. The contrast indicates that this is not something to mourn or concern ourselves with, but to realize how rare and unique and special we all are, and how we have this one chance to make it something worthwhile, whatever that means to us.

So don't fucking waste it.
