Even though I prefer their faster-paced work, I absolutely love this song. I agree that it could be about existence, but I always saw it as being more about giving up memories and old loves and friendships and the like, but being comfortable in doing so. Sort of along the lines of Bob Kaufman's "I Have Folded My Sorrows", I guess. It's an optimistic perspective, I think, but a realistic view on the messes we make and the things we drift away from. That's just my take, though.
