To me the song is about something taking care of and protecting somebody from the harsh outside, like a parent and little kid. "Cover your face" is like telling them not to look at the hardships since they are too young or in a perfect world nobody would see them, and they try to make life for them like a fantasy with kings and mother time and eggplant and caviar. Like a parent pretending with a little kid. The singer would love to have apple pie for the person he's singing to, but in reality it is hard times and all there is is appleseeds and cold sheets and he needs to put food on the table. The situation seems stressful and hard, but there's positivity like the person he's singing to is holding up his wings like the sky and they are like perfume, metaphorically it is covering the bad parts of life and giving the willpower to keep going.
