I found a letter in the mailbox today
And I said, "thank you for your thoughts, but I'm done."
I said that I would never build this up right here
And he said, "that's why I can't work with you son."----The letter in his mailbox could be the company's opinion/controlling influence, and he is rejecting it."Thank you for your thoughts but i am done"
But I can't let this go I'm on my way
You can only hold my diamond ring
But I'll go crawling back to the city I love
Cause it's already taken everything----The diamond ring symbolizes a promise, and a marriage of the band and the record label. and he's saying they can hold onto the money. and the first part seems to be saying that even though he's leaving the label he can't let go the dream of being a musician, and he is obviously well "on his way."
I'm going to Coney Island have myself a dog
And reminisce why I still hate it here
It's all these people with their cotton candy eyes
It's so sweet, now put the train in gear.----Coney Island was extremely commercialized, and he's expressing is dissatisfaction with executives and the like with their "cotton candy eyes", aka money hungry jews, just like in coney island... haha. Putting the train in gear shows again that he wants to move on.
But I can't let this go I'm on my way
You can only hold my diamond ring
But I'll go crawling back to the city I love
Cause it's already taken everything
The ground is swallowing my options full release
And if it rains they might just disappear
I counted 27 birds up there today
I'm thinking that's why I still love it here
I'm thinking that's why I still love it here----All of this shit I'm saying is kind of a stretch, and to cap it off, I'm thinking maybe the 27 birds up there are fans that came to his show, and he realizes that's why he "can't let this go", because he loves making music people enjoy.
This is out there, but it makes sense, and it's clever if that was what the fella intended. what's anyone else think?

I like the idea of a record company..
