I agree with Title Track. For those of you who are on the East Coast let me give you a geography lesson about my home, WA. If you look on the map you see how there's a body of water intruding into the land from the northwest. That water is called the Puget Sound. The Cascades is the mountain range in the middle of the state going north and south. Because it blocks a lot of rain everything east of it get pretty dry. So just about all the big cities are between the Puget sound and Cascades. I think the song is about being stuck in the city life. A society wear glamour, partying, and overall vain things are valued. Friends are there for self interest, not genuine care. I think getting out of the city life metaphorically is what he is portraying, not leaving the city physically. Because he compares his dreams to TV, where most shows seem to take place in big cities, but can portray true relationships and values. He just wants something real. Something more. He's just a post-modern guy.
