I believe this song delves into the theme of controlling our lives even in a state of vulnerability, and the inevitability of our mortal existence. It's about being near or at death's door, but still having control of your life, living it to the fullest. It even encourages us to do so because, while death waits for no man, there's no reason we have to go like some sorry sack of bones. Death may be looming in the shadows, but we can still drink tonight.
