One post suggested three different perspectives but I get the feeling that they are the same, albeit twisted, perspective. The first stanza talks about indifference to what are usually emotionally provocative topics. The second two reflect a sense of being lost in time (just like my Dad does/did). The next two reflect how unsettling change is. The last two stanzas bring all three ideas together in a shocking and powerful way. I don't think you can go through someones pocket's metaphorically. The second to last stanza is just to explicit to be metaphor in a song that contains no other metaphors.
