My Life
Finding Meaning in Life's Moments
Lyrics
My life, it don't count for nothin'
Life feels insignificant or lacks value.
When I look at this world, I feel so small
Perception of the world makes the speaker feel small and inconsequential.
My life is only a season
Life is transient, akin to a season with a limited duration.
A passing September no one will recall
Specific reference to a September, implying a forgettable period in the speaker's life.
But I gave joy to my mother
The speaker brought joy to their mother.
And I made my lover smile
The speaker's actions brought happiness to their lover.
And I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting
The speaker can provide comfort to friends during difficult times.
I can make it seem better for a while
The speaker can temporarily improve the situation for others.
My life is half the way traveled
Halfway through life, the speaker is still searching for meaning or purpose.
And still I have not found
The speaker has not yet discovered a clear path forward.
My way out of this night
Struggling through a metaphorical night or challenging phase in life.
My life is tangled in wishes
Life is entangled with unfulfilled wishes and disappointments.
And so many things that just never turned out right
Many things in the speaker's life did not turn out as expected or desired.
But I gave joy to my mother
Reiteration of bringing joy to the speaker's mother.
And I made my lover smile
Reiteration of making the speaker's lover smile.
I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting
Ability to provide comfort to friends during their times of pain.
I can make it seem better
The speaker can make things seem better, even if temporarily.
Oh, I can make it seem better for a while
Expressing the capability to improve situations for a while.
Ooh
An emotional expression or emphasis.
