Kestrels breed,
Looking further than I can see
Without tact to read,
She'd take a shine to me
Beacon don't fly too high
Beacon don't fly too high

For all your time,
Playful crime in rain
Worth it being cold,
Roofing for the lanes
A lesson lost again
A lesson lost again

Cute but I'll take the bus,
With fees and favours gone
Cracks in savers pass,
And a white that sometimes shone
Wanton borrowed gun
Wanton borrowed gun

Kestrels breed,
Looking further than I can see
Without tact to read,
She'd take a shine to me
Beacon don't fly too high
Beacon don't fly too high

    My Interpretation:Kestrels breed,
    Looking further than I can see
    Without tact to read,

    - Nature and life continues on, looking into the future but not being able to understand what itself is.

    She'd take a shine to me

    - A part of his life where he found love

    Beacon don't fly too high
    Beacon don't fly too high

    - The beacon represents life, don't fly to high could mean either facing mortality or drifting away from reality.

    For all your time,
    Playful crime in rain

    - A retrospective on his life, all of his time

    Worth it being cold,
    Roofing for the lanes

    - Love is worth it even if life is cold, love is the roofing for the lanes of life.

    A lesson lost again
    A lesson lost again

    - The issues life brings never get fully resolved.

    Cute but I'll take the bus,
    With fees and favours gone
    Cracks in savers pass,

    + Life is cute but its time to go and face his mortality, a free ride and no more favours. His saver pass is worn from all the journeys life has brought him.

    And a white that sometimes shone

    + Light at the end of the tunnel is shining

    Wanton borrowed gun
    Wanton borrowed gun

    + A cruel borrowed gun represents what took his life.

    Kestrels breed,
    Looking further than I can see
    Without tact to read,
    She'd take a shine to me
    Beacon don't fly too high
    Beacon don't fly too high
