Lyrics you didn't get then but you get now

Ever randomly listen to an old song you forgot, dismissed or never really understood back in the day, only to suddenly have it speak to you and have meaning?

Examples:

Soft Cell - Frustration. Sheesh. These guys must have only been in their 20's when they wrote this.

I have life
Ordinary wife
I have car
A favourite bar
I have job
A moderate wage
I get the pains
That come with age
I am so ordinary

or

I have life
I have cage
I'm going bald
I want to tell the world
I've done nothing
I've achieved nothing
I work for a firm
But I want to burn it down, down
I am so ordinary

also,

The The - This is the Day

You could've done anything, if you'd wanted.
And all your friends and family think that you're lucky.
But the side of you they'll never see
Is when you're left alone with the memories
That hold your life together like -- GLUE
