My mum is always telling me off for listening to too much music. Says it's unhealthy. She also says it's a teenager thing, that when you 'discover' music at about 13, for the rest of your adolescence, it's one of the most important, all consuming things to you. Then apparently when you're an adult, music gets a lower status and is only enjoyed on occasion. (Jeez, I'm only 15! I pray that doesn't happen to me!)
Anyway, point being, that could be sort of what this song is about- how in your youth you find the special songs that can help you overcome any adversity, but that it's a hard job trying to remember them later on:
A sad fact widely known
The most impassionate song
To a lonely soul
Is so easily outgrown
But don't forget the songs
That made you smile
And the songs that made you cry
When you lay in awe
On the bedroom floor
And said : "Oh, oh, smother me Mother..."

Music always gets the status you give her and you're on the right path :)
