Thanks for telling me that I made a mistake.
I'm sick today and for a week now, so that's why I have not the brain at the right place.

Clue 1: The first line of this song's lyrics contains a metaphor.
Clue 2: A line in the song points to a later album title. Another line in the song has by some been (over)emphasized as a key to the song's theme.
Guesses not needed here: Brave New World, Edge of Darkness

Strange World ?
Yes! Your turn, @Vaenyr
Blood Brothers is the one. Didn't take long, this one...
Clues explained:
Clue 1: The first line of this song's lyrics contains a metaphor.
(Walk through the) garden of life
Clue 2: A line in the song points to a later album title. Another line in the song has by some been (over)emphasized as a key to the song's theme.
The line "for a second a glimpse of my father I see". The loss of Steve's father has often been cited as the song's theme and inspiration, but if we look at the rest of the lyrics, the "Blood Brothers" image seems to carry a wider meaning than merely the personal father-son link.

Clue 2: What's the later album title the song points to? I re-read what you wrote three times and didn't see it there. It's also late and I'm sleepy so I could've just missed it.
I'm the sleepy one, apparently, I forgot that one was in there @chaosapiant
Say a prayer on the Book of the Dead
The Egyptian funerary text Book of the Dead is an obvious inspiration for Book of Souls, Maiden's fictional Mayan counterpart.

Good guesses, but not the song we're looking for.
Clue #1: The protagonist of the song reflects on their life in the first verse of the song.
Clue #2: The song seems to be unusually popular, though not everyone would agree.

Guess I need to stop giving obvious hints too early, that's the one!
Explanation for clue #2: Though the song hasn't been played in 30 years and is not favored by the play classics crowd, nor many die hard fans who prefer the 80s and post reunion stuff, Wasting Love has a surprisingly high number of streams on Spotify.
