in my mind its about a person who just got through a real heavy drug addiction. when someone finally decides its time to get clean, it feels weird to live life and not be obsessing about always having a bag of chemicals in your pocket. its a beautiful and new feeling that just being with a girl is all you could need. hes righted everything in his life that generally gets muddled in the life of a fiend and things have become all but normal again.
it starts to get hairy because although there is a real external happiness that you feel, there is a lingering internal emptiness. even though things are as good as they could be and the world has become your oyster, there is always a longing for an answer that just doesnt exist.
I think you're taking it too literally: AJJ is sarcastically referencing the song "Free Bird". The man in the song is free of obligation and restriction, but at the same time, he's so lonely and sad that his freedom feels bad. Just like a homeless person with no money is technically free to roam wherever they want with nobody to answer to and nothing to do but chill out, the man knows he's "free", but it's bittersweet, because he's actually just depressed and lonely.
