I think this song is about hating where he grew up and the people in it, they sit around and waste their lives.they do nothing. they dont try to make a difference.
and when he tried people talked about him but now since hes getting out & is making a difference hes laughing at them.
i think that explains the 1st verse.
he describes where he came from :These stormy skies
To salty air
Knee deep in midwest quicksand
----sad lonley hard to get out
so when he left he ddint bother looking back , saying goodbye, he just wanted to leave.
so i think its about him leaving them and
