@SmilingChaos Maybe. I think it might be closer to "What I do will eventually kill me, but not today."
It's similar to the line from Game of Thrones: "There is only one god, and his name is Death. And there is only one thing we say to Death: 'not today.'"

It doesn't make sense. It should be a part of the idiom "He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day."

@dongelev85 by the way, I mean die not did, sorry.

That says "live to die another day." It is a more cynical version of the original saying. The speaker is admitting that he will eventually die in battle, but he hopes not to die today, even if he loses.

@dongelev85 Can I explain it to " I still have something to do, so I am still alive"?
