This song always made me thing of Lord of the Flies. Probably just because it has aspects of survival ("In the middle of nowhere","we're looking for brushwood",) and childishness ("surprised by the rain
We're stumbling, tripping home again"). Also mention of the animal (the best) and finding the little man (at one point the find a dead parachutist). There are lots of lines that contradict this interpretation, especially the mention of 1991, but it was just something I found myself repeatedly thinking of when listening to this song.
