The song to me is about everyone thinking that they are the best. Each country will claim to have the best beer, the best foods, the best sports teams, but all this "I'm the best" mentality keeps people from understanding and appreciating other places "Can't really feel what international means" and it's this mentality that keeps everyone from seeing the broad picture and appreciating the entire world "The whole wide world, and endless universe, yet we keep looking at the eyeglass in reverse"
It's like looking through binoculars backwards and not seeing what's off in the distance, only what is right here in front of you.
