This song reminds me of the movie, Into The Wild, where the hero left civilization to live and thrive alone in nature. He was a firm believer of Thoreau's book, Walden so he donated all his money and left everything that he owned to live in solitude.

I'm sensing strong misanthropy in this song. I think the singer's pretty straightforward when he sings "Fuck off all you people on the ground, ya!" He's like, sick of all the shit people tell or do around him so he's gonna bundle up all his property (like his books) and go live alone in the mountains or on a treetop.
