Reflections Of My Life Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ntrutenko 

Cover art for Reflections Of My Life lyrics by Marmalade

The sunlight of youth has faded to the moonlight of old age. The person looks back on his life through tear-glazed eyes of longing for his past. He recognizes the greetings of other troubled people because he too is troubled. He is alone in their company - forever more alone. He remembers his childhood/the best times of his life, and contrasts those times to the harshness of adulthood and lost innocence. He is bitter and scared. "Take me back, to my old home."

My Interpretation

I’m an addiction counselor and I absorb a lot of pain. I am also a guitar player singer/songwriter. I cover a lot late 60s and 70s folk/rock songs. This song really captures my mood when I drive the 40 minutes home. Going back to my own home, from a day of heavy and intense feelings. Reflections of my life. And I love them all and glad I can take some of their pain away…
