I think this song is about how memories feel so real and powerful to us, even though some should have no relevance, as said in the lyrics, "memory-wastes". "His father's watch, he left it in the shower" seems like a very strange thing to remember, but to the person with the memory it is very important.
@Shroomyjoe He's father died when he was 6. He left it in the showers. The plural suggests somewhere public. The school showers perhaps? They are very sad memories. I think of the waste of an unhappy childhood.
