This song is for those whose hopes all seem to fall short, how what you dream for never comes true. It describes a scene in a town (one's hope), and as time goes on and the present meets up with the future for which you had high hopes, it falls apart and pales in comparison for what you wished for. I get goosebumps every time I hear the "Time wears you down" outro, the music and lyrics really capture the meaning of the song for me there.
