Lyric discussion by thisisptless56 

i like how they write about their home town like that.also how the events surrounding the meaning of the song show that ppl change and live had the balls to go back to their town. on a more poetic stance the 1st verse shows how -in the US- we try to seclude ourselves from others with property lines and 'hard line symmetry'. i don know if ed meant it to reach out that far in the meaning but i can be sure he wanted listeners to relate to this type of mindset......
