As www.phish.com posted an official memo from Trey announcing the end of Phish, this song finally makes sense. We should have seen it coming.
Trey claimed he had been feeling the band was burning out and didn't want to push it, but rather accept it and move on before they became a "nostalgia act." These thoughts are probably the demons he refers to that "dance in his head"
In this song, he acknowledges that fan base that Phish has accumulated ("a thousand barefoot children outside dancing on my lawn"), but then also shows desire to leave the band ("waiting for the time I can finally say that this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way.")
The lyrics then go on to express his anxiety that he can not escape the band, the fans "step on his rhythm" and "steal all his lines."

He just wants "go on his way..."
RIP Phish, I will love you forever.
