Hardly a case for sectioning. 'Reduced' simply means 'reduced to poverty' here because of his wild ways. We also have the phrase 'not knowing which way to turn' which equates to 'confusion'. However the line 'He had been so reduced to poverty which caused him to not know which way to turn' doesn't scan very well in a song.
