Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros: Janglin Meaning

Janglin Lyrics

Well our mama's they left us
And our daddy's took a ride
And we walked out of the castle
And we held our head up high
Well we once were the Jesters
In your Kingdom by the sea
And now we're out to be the masters
For to set our spirits free...

   I think this song is directed towards those who forced society upon us. For instance:
   Well our mama's they left us
   And our daddy's took a ride
   And we walked out of the castle
   And we held our head up high
   Well we once were the Jesters
   In your Kingdom by the sea
   And now we're out to be the masters
   For to set our spirits free - set free
   
   This suggests that the guidance given to us early in our lives is now gone, and we are forced to look at reality as we "walk out of the castle" with high expectations. "we were once the jesters in your kingdom by the sea" suggests that a once rebellious teenager or child living in an adult's idealized religious world is now going off on their own to follow their own views.
   
   We Want to feel ya!
   We don't mean to kill ya!
   We come back to Heal ya - Janglin soul
   Edward and the Magnetic Zeros
   
   This verse is a shout out directly towards the worried parents of a young adult who doesn't mean to directly hurt or "kill" the parents, but rather wants to show them the new way of life they have adopted.
   
   Well your wartime is Funny
   Your guns don't bother me
   I said we're out to prove the truth of
   The man from Galilei
   Well your laws are for Dummies, yes
   Your institutions dead
   I say we're out to blow the trumpet
   To wake you all from bed - from bed
   
   This section describes how petty and rediculous society's standards have become. The "guns" of religion, politics, and injustice have little effect on the singer. They again suggest forced religious belief by describing the quest of finding the truth about "the man from "Galilee". The next section points towards disagreement with the old laws of the past generations, and the singer is out to wake up those who disagree with modern society to reality.
   
   We Want to feel ya!
   We don't mean to kill ya!
   We come back to Heal ya - Janglin soul
   Edward and the Magnetic Zeros
   
   We carry the mail
   We carry it home
   We carry the Mail now
   We carry it home
   Scare up your Letters
   Give us your Tails
   Blowing like Whale now to
   Magnetic Ears
   WOW!
   
   Again, this part of the song is saying that the new generation has become the messengers of what really needs to be focused on in the world.
   
   We Want to feel ya!
   We don't mean to kill ya!
   We come back to Heal ya - Janglin soul
   Edward and the Magnetic Zeros
