mhhh so parts of the lyrics have something to do with Prokofiev, Tims favourite classical componist (born in 1891) and with one of his symphonies... ---> Peter and the wolf. grandpa and grandson are living in that house in the woods...and the wolf is somewhere out there (ever wondered why midlake got the wolf mask everywhere??) The animals are all helping together to reach heir aim, catch the wolf...while fulfiling that task they forget about the enemy status they usually have among them (i.e the cat and the bird) ...and "When they got back they're all mixed up (so they r also singing about proper social behaviour...helping together to reach an aim)
With no one to stay with".... guess my english sucks..anyway..a great song!

Yes, I think this is it. Your explanation, like the song itself, is profound.
