I think "Buy me to the wind, you talk me out of standstill" is "Body to the wind, you taught me how to stand still".

I'm not sure about either of the above suggestions for the line beginning 'It's a dedication...', but I can't come up with any better suggestion.

There are obvious political overtones, and parts of it make a lot of sense being about his father. It's probably mostly a mix of those two ideas.

I'm still not 100% sure about the meaning of the hook line "You have to touch me with kid gloves". It makes perfect sense just as long as I don't think about it too hard. If I try to solidify what I think it means, it seems to fall apart. Great hook though, and this is probably the best song I've heard from the new album.
