i think that this song is about the end of depression and the beginning of happiness. "you finally understand the movement of a hand waving you goodbye" refers to the death of the sadness which once ruled the life. it is so because he describes beauty in this song, and it's really nice. a nice message of hope, well, to me at least that's what it means. bright eyes is amazing in concert, despite all of the screaming little drunk girls. meh..it sort of fucks up the experience, though. not too much.
