I think this song is about self-awareness and thinking too much, probably from growing out of childhood into adolescence. Each verse starts with this really beautiful thing about Mr. Violin or Mr. Dancing Bear, but then he talks about his big thoughts, and those big thoughts are actually fairly dark when you separate them out. What if the sun drops, or your heart stops?
I'm pretty sure the last line isn't a reference to inbreeding, but rather a reference to Genesis and the apple. When you bite from the tree you become self-aware, hence a crookeder you and me. All of this happened in the old family tree, as opposed to the new family tree.
