This song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I first heard this song when I was about 12 years old, which I feel was the perfect age to hear it for the first time. Just like the song which begins with an up beat (young, youthful, fast), it turns into something deeper (transitioning from a child to an adult), such as falling in love, then it turns again becoming even deeper, for the last time (old age) reminiscing about youth and how when you were a child things were fresh, and colorful and big (being a child you are small and everything is taller and larger and new) and all the things that you appreciate now, you couldn't appreciate then, because you were still a child and didn't understand them, but the lyrics "lift up your feet and put them on the ground, you used to walk upon, when you were young" means that this person is older and frail and can't walk like they could when they were young and youthful. I believe thhe end of the song is the acceptance of death and the reminiscence of the life they lived. I've heard thousands of songs and no song I have ever heard is this deep and powerful. Every human being that has ever lived a full life can relate with each and every single lyric. Amazing.
Your words are worthy of the song itself.
I too have found such things in this profound and haunting song. Your analysis is inspiring. I want to hear the song again now. I love the stripped-down beat and singing only part where Bryan F's voice breaks/shrieks with emotion: "Shake your hair girl with your ponytail..."

It kinda makes me think of "Remember a Day" by pink Floyd. Lost innocence and wonder of childhood vs. the jaded present and doomed to age.
