What does "Your days are numbered at 24" mean in the song Feeling Sorry by Paramore?
I'd like to know what "Your days are numbered at 24" means. I went on Google to find the translation of this song into my language, but this part doesn't make much sense to me, I also looked it up to see if it's an idiom, but I haven't found anything. The part I don't get is "at 24", 24 hours? days? age? Would you mind helping me understand it?
Thanks!

The person is running out of time at 24 years old. Literally, the person could be dying. Figuratively, he is wasting his time away, as the song seems to say.
