Ferris Wheel Lyrics

I agree with the seagull building the nest from the hair being a "everything is connected" mentality. I interpret the rest of the song as a giant metaphor, the Ferris wheel being representative of life and how we have to follow through our dreams no matter what. In the beginning she is going through life and pursuing her dreams but her hair gets caught (something comes in her path that stops her), but he says even though it seems lost, you will recover from this fall and with "Samson's strength" you can pick yourself up and keep going.
