You live your life. You start out young and optimistic and full of life and laughter and dreams. Life eventually beats you down. Life becomes one damned thing after another: disappointment, illness, heartbreak, loss, anxiety, uncertainty, depression, conflict.
At some point you realize you are getting old; you are set in your ways; you lack energy; you are beaten down; you don't have the energy to change things because you've been in the lowlands too long, and time is running out.

This is a song about growing old.
