Well, the grandpa theory does make sense, but the line "a source to draw from" leads me to believe that its something which more inspired the music. I believe Jim Ward said that the death of his cousin, Jeremy Ward, member of the Mars Volta, was a source of inspiration for this album. I always thought the song was about his loss.
