MoonAngel's interpretation sounds right. I had actually misheard that line about '.....a fragment of your life'. For me it evokes a breakup and rejection. I rediscovered the song lately - what a classic.

I had always thought that line was "I'm just a fragment of your life to wander free," which I always just meant they'd been discarded or left behind. That made so much sense to me that I was surprised to find out that I'd been wrong all these years. I'm usually quite good with lyrics.
