A «Pantaloon» is a foolish pantomime character. The lyrics suggest that time will make fools out of us all. The protagonist watches his grandfather’s mind deteriorate followed by his father’s. As he grows older, he begins to follow in his elder’s footsteps despite his attempts to do the opposite, losing his mind just as they did. | |||
The Pantaloon could suggest a personification of a disease like dementia. | |||
