This song is fucking amazing. I adore Mischeif Brew and the Orphans.
I think its talking about getting older, and that feeling of nostalgia when you see people you haven't seen in a long time getting older. I know that feeling so perfectly... like when you find out one of your childhood best friends gets drunk a lot or is pregnant... they should stay little kids, don't you think?
And it makes you want to go back to your old ways "throwing rocks in the river"
And unfortunately the nomads, the kids who didn't know what their place in the world was, are settling down into regular lives.
