This is such an incredible song, and I've thought that since I heard the little preview he gave us a few months back on his blog. Lyrically AND musically, it's great. I absolutely can not wait for a studio recording (the recent live one is just not good enough quality).
I think this song is actually pretty simple. I think it's sort of about being big at one point, then drifting off into nothingness when you get older and feel more alone. But there's a few twinges of hope that things will get better and might actually stay that way, in the lines "Hard to see I won't always be alone" and "then someday I'll wash upon someone else's shore".
Wow, it's pretty strange that almost nobody commented on this song! Actually, to me the "Hard to see I won't always be alone" part speaks about a person who is very comfortable with his loneliness, but at the same time he lets himself drift off to wherever life is driving him. He knows that, at some point, life will drive him away off that loneliness to "wash upon someone else's shore".
