Personally I think that Emily is referring to the insignificance of life. We are only here for a very short time in the eyes of eternity, hence the "hour" statement; and she is saying that we should live life the way that we choose to because before we know it we will be gone and the human race will move on without us, as much as we would like to think that it won't.
