I get the feeling this song is about living in London (or generically about any big city). High tide mid afternoon is rush hour.
People go to work in the city to make money, and everyone makes them feel guilty because of the money they earn and the big companies they work for - "Don't let them get you down
Making you feel guilty about
Golden rain bring you riches
All the good things - you deserve now"
But in the end people only work in the city until they've got enough money to move somewhere calm, away from the Wild Wood - "Day by day your world fades away
Waiting to feel - all the dreams that say
Golden rain will bring you riches
All the good things - you deserve now - and I say
Climbing forever trying
Find your way out - of the wild wild wood"
Every day, heading home, they think about how they want to get out of the city for good eventually.

Agree with you Jimmy. This song just reminds me of the time I worked in London and travelling in the afternoon rush hour.
