I think that the song is all about a person who comes from a standpoint of enlightenment. Namely the "late man". They have reached their understanding about the world but realize that it doesn't really matter. Because no matter what they cant pass it on to any other. Every word they say to pass on their understanding gets carried away in the wrong direction or is ignored much like the wind blowing it out of their hands. When the Late man explains his thoughts to the straight man, the straight man is but wind which cannot be impressed or possessed and simply blows away.
