this song, along with the rest of the solid air album, is great.

i think it's about wanting to go back to the naivety of youth, where nothing appears to be evil, and everything is loving and peaceful, and he's a man who's seen so much evil that he just wishes he could go back to the days when he was completely oblivious to all the evil he's now experienced
