I can definatly see why this could be written in relation to his mother. However, when I first heard the song, I thought it was E's way of saying that he's tired of the modern development of mankind.
"I don't care for walkin' down town
Crazy auto car gonna mow me down"
"I can't stand in line at the store
The mean little people are such a bore"
So instead he prefers to dismiss modern society and relax in the peaceful comfort of nature.
However, the relation to his mother theory seems better; afterall many of the Eels songs are about his deceased loved ones.
