I think this song is about him being in a long line destined to go crazy. I googled 'Pantaloon' and as far as i understand it means a crazy old man. His grandfather was a pantaloon, so came his dad, and this song is telling him that he soon will be the pantaloon. He sits in a chair surrounded by all the people as their lives move on, while he is alone and grows old and crazy. He walks the graves of his dead friends at old age, alone without a family, he soon becomes the pantaloon.
