The interpretation given by thesameoldtune is very interesting.
As for the figurative interpretation: Autumn always signifies something coming to an end; for example, the last years of a person's life. Summer usually symbolizes the high-point and is characterized by love.
The song could be going from morose to enjoyment. It could also be about actually going backwards in time. I'm sure if you asked the guys of Pelican, they would honor all these possible meanings.
