well it's a lot less metaphorical than that. aaron actually did spend a good amount of time homeless and traveling around on boxcar and hitch-hiking like a modern-day kerouac. he kind of took Jesus' "go into all the cities of Judea and take nothing with you" command pretty literally. i think the line, "the parachute broke loose," cried the goose with misplaced but understandable concern for his little brother's mental health. his happy little brother, and the forgetting of himself. is referring to his brother mike's concerns for him throughout that period of his life. it's definitely one of the best songs on the album, and it feels a lot more genuine knowing that it's autobiographical and not metaphorical. |
