McCauley's trying to say that all our lives we work so hard for things that we never fully appreciate until it's too late. And yet, we still have to keep on fighting to survive, just going with the flow so to speak. But, I think it's also a commentary that the reason why this outlook occurs is because so many people are afraid to accept the fact that they're going to die. He's saying, open your eyes, realize that as soon as you come of age you start to die and life loses a bit of it's lustre. You just have to figure out what's important and meaningful to you and cherish it before the clock runs out.
Oh, and I think he's also critiquing religion a bit as fostering that idea that there's an afterlife and we have all the time in the world. I think he's saying when we die, that could be all there is, so we have to shake the uber religious mindset, live right, and appreciate the ephemeral. Just my take. :)
