best explanation i heard, and that makes sense to me, is that the song is about the conflict, and isloation, associated with decisions, forks in the road of life, the challenge presented in decision making to "find the high road" - to live life true to the best of your potential, the "right" path, or, conversely do you "sell out" take what's there to be taken now, settle for what you can get, or are told you can have? are you motivated to make life's choices on the basis of what could be? or does the sense of what you might lose, or have already lost, guide you?
