the grey fool gave a very good interpretation to what this song means.
what i saw in it was being sorta sad about life. I think he refers to being downhearted baby ever since the day we met as a way of saying, ever since he met certain aspects of life, he's ended up depressed over it. that friends are always going away, nostalgia sinks in, we think we're in control of our lives, but really we have no idea how much we dont, questions of God, etc.
I think the last 2 verses are very interesting, in that they give away what the meaning of this song more specifically. The third verse has 4 questions that he asks due to his uncertainty in life. Whether or not he's made the right choices, or if it was all worth it.
the last verse sounds like a criticism. you ride the waves and dont ask where they go. sounds like he's making an observation of people that just go along with the flow. you swim like lions through the crest and bathe yourself in zebra flesh. This sounds like people go through life going along with things. Acting like lions in life bathing themselves in zebra flesh, which is on the prey of others. They go though the crest of life with ease with their over indulgence and spotlight, all at the expense of others. Something like that more or less.
@DarkApathy Sorry, just wanted to say I agree about the waves and the lions and the zebras. It's also an incredibly violent image, I think. Lions don't eat daintily, do they?
