Dual meanings for “Hiding High”, one is that this person is high and munching out on donuts and trying to conceal his intoxication but the powder on his fingers from the donuts gives him away, the other is that he is hiding far away from struggles that exist outside of Bob’s behind the delicious powdered treats

Aesop is like a preacher in a chapel, but his preaching is about the holy Bob’s Donuts. “Can I get an Amen” is a line used in many churches to inspire the congregation to agree with the preacher. Aesop uses the line in similar fashion.

The word “fast” refers to not consuming food or drink for a period of time for religious purposes, the rest of the line paints the image that picking out a donut here is a religious experience and he’s an unkempt disciple of delicious pastries

Actually, crows feet is the name given to the lines that appear at the corner of someone’s eyes as they age if they don’t sleep properly, so I’d guess what AR is getting at is that people are so devoted to Bob’s donuts because of how delicious they are that they neglect proper sleep.

Kids want to grow up so fast but then when we are grown up, we want to be young again.

It’s rushing OUT a kid, not rushing as a kid or rushing at a kid. Danny had a child at not only a young age, but an age that he has constantly stated he still felt like a kid at.
