I know the real meaning of the song as it relates to Anthony's drug habit but it has a real meaning to me too.
My wife had left me for someone else and filed for divorce. I moved to a place of my own in a city miles away. At that time I had few local friends and was very alone. There was one day when I was gripped with loneliness unlike anything I had ever known. I set about to make sure I never felt like that again.
I would spend many hours walking the streets and neighborhoods.
I really loved the city. It was beautiful and I almost felt that the city loved me too. It was all I had.
I heard this song again recently and boy did it hit home. I felt like that at one time and sometimes still do. Almost exactly except for last verses.
i especially love when he says "It's hard to believe there's nobody out there. It's hard to believe that I'm all alone". That was me.
But the city, she loved me and I wasn't alone.
Sound a little crazy even to me sometimes but it sure makes me relate to this song.
I think this is a very good personal understanding of the song. So glad you posted it. It doesn't sound crazy to me at all. I picture the guy wandering the city and feeling understood somehow by that one thing. I have recurring dreams of walking through cities. It's one of my favorite songs ever.
