This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The line makes time feel like a slowly draining tank: the life is yours, and each minute spent is also a minute gone. It's less about grand endings than the quiet arithmetic of an ordinary day. The urgency comes from the word 'ending' arriving in the same breath as 'your life'.
