Well... First of all, I'll say that I heard the Eminem cover before the original song (weird to some) and, I dare say I'm not an Eminem fan (quite on the contrary), but the 'chorus' tune caught me right then. And only now, when listening to a newly downloaded playlist 'Rolling Stone Magazine's 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time', I've heard this so familiar tune and I said to myself "shit! that was not eminem song at all! It's Aerosmith!!!" And again... the song got me so deep... As for me, it's always great when I discover for myself some new song like this (old/modern - whatever!)... I'm eager to listen to it for hours!
As for its meaning, I can say that every song which is worth listening and which meaning is worth discussing so much had been written on the basis of a writer's personal experience... Be that his personal life, his attitude towards something or just his speculations.
Once, a friend of mine said to me: "dude, to write and compose a song in such an emotionally deep manner you must go through such a situation yourself..."
And this is exactly one of those songs...
Of course the author went through a hard time in his life. Otherwise, the song wouldn't have been so great.
Particularly, I think the song is about never abandoning what a person dreams about. Whatever happens dream on. And of course, according to the chorus it is clear - live for the day. Do everything in time. Never postpone for tomorrow what you can do today. Don't be lazy to do what you really want. Because tomorrow may not come. You can lose the right moment... And be sorry for that for all your life. It's better be sorry for what you have done than to be sorry for what you haven't...
I think I made myself clear. Thank you :)
