In this world
Where nothing else is true
Here I am
Still tangled up in you
"Carpe diem – "Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future", and the ode says that the future is unknowable, and that instead one should scale back one's hopes to a brief future, and drink one's wine.
Compare with the Biblical "eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die", a conflation, with emphasis on making the most of current opportunities because life is short and time is fleeting – an existential caution."
Or in my words, one day at a time but enjoy each day as they come:)
