It is a hard song to understand. The analogy of a cake left out in the rain could imply waste of food- perhaps loss of life in war ( after all Macarthur was a general) there are dozens of possible interpretations. I really don"t like the song, it is downer, but not really focused, like Reflections of My Life.
