this song feels to me like its written by a convict on the run after a prison break. the different bits represent different situations one might find themselves in running through a heavily forested area. the part about the weather vane might represent the speed he moves with. the skeleton backseat tucker is an old car wreck in the woods, with the cloth degraded away to the steel supports of the seat. his frequent use of "pulling on troubles braids" looks like it might represent the act of running/being on the move, which then brings him to the next rest/situation. obviously, this is just my interpretation to get the thread started.
