It's a slap at the art/fashion/music scene of the late 80s. Manhattan and Berlin being the "hipsters' paradises" that exemplified the empty, fashionista, Warholesque, Studio 54 scenes that Cohen is antithetical to. This is Cohen's FU to Dieter from SNL -- he's coming back with actual substance and fashion is going to get its butt kicked. THe way to "stop him" is to go beyond shallow trendy pop...but they didn't and still don't have the discipline.
@ditkoquestion Yes, I like this analysis. To me the song was quite incoherent other than it was about someone on a mission, at first I thought it was about growing up and reaching the age where you feel equipped and able to make your mark but your explanation has added a dimension to that.
