| Wilco – Via Chicago Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| @[augurus:12435] I thought it might be about a significant other as well (which I kinda liked). But the more I listen, the more I'm convinced that it's about killing the ego. The creative process requires empathy. The more you kill your ego, the more your art connects with people. In the song, home represents that place of no ego, just connection. I think that's why he mentions him "watching a man like him run down a busy street." That's The "I" he's trying to separate himself from. | |
