I think the song can mean alot of things, as most Neil Young songs can be pretty deep. It could be about a man that suffered the loss of a family memeber or lover ect.
My opinion when I hear this great song titled "Birds" with lyrics like "fly away with out you" and "feathers fall around you and show you the way to go..." I mean if you look at the name of the song and he mentions flying and feathers a few times in the song. I am thinking about a baby bird coming of age and his mother can no longer raise and its time for him to fend for himself and grow up and eventually meet a female partner and starting a family. "Its over" meaning the mother and baby bird relationship, now the mother bird has to move on. At least thats what I think about when I hear this lol.
