Coming back to this, seeing as I wrote that almost a year ago... I think many times when life gets you down, the smallest things come to mean so very much. Something like his chair breaking(if that was all) would seem small and not that important... but all these little things just remind him of how much things are changing and how he's getting old. These are re-occuring themes in thier songs... and I love how they capture it.
