What do these song lyrics mean?

Question

“You who must leave everything that you cannot control: it starts with your family, but soon it comes round to your soul. I’ve been where you’re hanging, I think I can see how you’re pinned; If you’re not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you’ve sinned.”
–Leonard Cohen

Answer 4

Kind of confusing, but here's what I thought:
You can't control certain things like family (can't choose your family) and your soul. I know what you're going through is tough. You should cherish the relationships you have.
