OK. I think I've got it. I figured it out while driving my iMiev around today and listening to "Pickin' on Phish." Celtic guitar composition. In Ireland, especially the North (I've been there), I'm pretty sure "GLAD" is pronounced....... well, "GLIDE." There's a dipthong in the word. Try it! Say in an Irish/ East London accent.
Picture Trey having written the basic cheerful Celtic style guitar song and having "Glad" as a working title. Add a linguistically minded person or the band or whoever goofing on the title in an Irish accent while putting the full band arrangement together, and there you go.
The nonsense about being glad that you're a glide fits.
The part about arriving and being alive always had me thinking about driving to shows safely and soberly, or at least reasonably so.
