I like how in this song "an older" insinuates "another" which is genuine and true. It's about not having patience enough to guide someone (a child, mainly) through their fantasies and realizing it is better to leave than stay when you realize the child will never become a man. The illustration paints the portrait of a man who never grows up and how though we wish to transcend those boundaries, we know we never will and must leave him to his own world where he will learn that the kite can fly much farther if we can let it go with the hand that grasps the string so tight and to open it for the one who wants to hold it instead.
And about a man who never grows up. Like peter pan in never never land. I like how never is double entendre (or however that word is spelled).
