Okay, so I'm currently doing a research paper on Dylan Thomas and this entire song relates to his life. If you read one of his most famous poems, "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" it is about Dylan wanting his father to fight his alcohol problem, but his father has lost the will to fight. The airplane represents the pathway to death, hence flying up into the sky and primitive is the state of being of his father. Also, the bride he never laid eyes on represents his wife a night club dancer, whom he proposed to drunk. Just food for thought, but scary how much it lines up. Great song!
