I agree that this is definitely Peter coming to terms with his aging and getting older. He is obviously looking forward into the clouds wondering where you go after. I love that rather than the usual image of ascending into the clouds, that he is actually up above them watching it all drop. There is also a reference to sperm here too. Thousands of sperm leaving the fuselage not knowing where they are going or what will happen, thousands of deaths leading to life. And then the image of the city lights going out one by one. Beautiful song and deep personal lyrics. He is a deep writer and performer. I am sure there is no coincidence that his daughter sings this with him.
