I think the song is about celebrity and the addictive quality of it
'magnetic pull of staircase' - he wants to go back to the old life but he can't
and there may be memories of someone that he associates with the old life that
he yearns for
The chopper is a symbol of wealth, not everyone can have a chopper
he wants to send it in and get someone from the past who he loves or cares about
his pot of full
of experience, of life and of memories and secrets that celebrity does not own
only he owns the pot of his own secrets
and he can control almost everything in his life due to his celebrity but
he can't control the other person who won't let him take her into his orbit
but he wants to
the song is deep about his current stage of life
middle age
he is remembering something precious of the past and that is why the song is really
beautiful and a bit melancholy
the high sounds at the end is the conclusion of the yearnings he cannot reach or have
