One of the interpretations I've considered is that this song is about reflection and current situation.
The first verse deals with the subject looking back sentimentally into childhood. S/he remembers the simplicity of youth, the ignorant bliss.
The second verse is about growing older. The person doesn't feel things like s/he used to. The part about "a bottle not for sharing poison with the fairies" could essentially be about drowning pain with alcohol (poison being a metaphor for alcohol).

Who knows! Just one way to look at it.
