this is spoken by Juno, Juno is trying to impress Time with frivolous products zirconium is fake diamonds so they aren't even real wealth, Juno is being cheap and materialistic in the face of time

Time replies pointing out that Juno is using his wealth and pants to try and forget about the passing of time

Smile or Despair?

Ruler of everything tries to remind us that our time on earth is limited and that most of what we do is to distract ourselves from this fact

the song also tells us to give it up and smile, and accepting this fact and taking life day by day is the fulfilling way to live
