I just discovered Mew and this is the song that realed me in. It's too pretty for it's own good. I agree that the zookeeper's boy is a metaphor for a very sensitive, sweet and sort of simple guy who goes off into the city to find a girl he loves, but he's not used to being in the city. The city could be another metaphor for just the modern world as we know it today. He might be a hopeless romantic stuck in the cruel uncaring world and he must think this girl is perfect for him, too perfect because he's just a simple guy hence the "I could not be seen with you" line (which gets me everytime). Hope that made sense to you all!
