Cover art for Nature Boy lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Cracking song. Meaning? No clue. Is 'narrator's' father in 1st verse referring to nature with:

"He said, that in the end it is beauty That is going to save the world, now"?

Certainly the beginning strikes me as encouragement to not get too down from civilisation's evils and enjoy the natural wonder.
