All u guys are right: --Literally, the song's based on the MerryGoRound, and the beach area --Metaphorically, it speaks of love, beauty, and loss
I love this song because once i hear the "badger, and the one-eyed toad" part, it always makes the song feel like a fairy tale like the books and stories we all heard when we were kids.... nostalgia, basically.
Also, this song's just a small example of how amazing Dispatch is at song-writing [plus ALL other things!] because this song just mixes so many aspects of what can be in a song's lyrics- like extensive literal, metaphorical meanings- together to make an amazing piece of art!
So it was very neat to read a recent interview with Chad [for 'State Radio'] where he said that "Flying Horses" was the first song he wrote that he actually truly liked, and was happy with the end-product.
