I think it's about the fear of change. As someone said, hummingbirds can hover in the air, beating their wings but not moving in any direction.
I think this song is about seeing change, seeing things move in different directions and resisting it. An example would be the suit that's "getting tighter and splitting at the seams" but is kept "out of habit." Even though the suit is wrecked and useless...we can't let it go. And even though it doesn't serve any purpose anymore, there's still some attachment to how it USED to be...so he wants to be buried with it.
It's about how you don't want to change, even if that change is inevitable.
