Nuclear Family Lyrics

To me, it seems like this is about a guy going through a mid-life crisis. He wants to leave his mundane existence behind and go in search of something more exciting. He wants to be wreckless, and live for the moment. The 'Nuclear Family' reference could be something to do with our protaganist leaving his family behind in order to re-discover his youth. I could be way off, but listening to all three albums as a collective, it seems like a recurring theme.
