There are layers of meaning. The first is literal; he buys new shoes, and good things happen. But I think the messae here is that the shoes only serve as a "placebo" of sorts so he can unlock his full potential.
"Take me walking through these streets
Where bright lights and angels meet"
This line really speaks to that, I think. the shoes are metaphorically guiding him, and he can see things that were a;ways there, just were not illuminated. (bright lights meeting angels).
And when he wakes up (on Thursday), he finds that he has invited all of his friends over for a party, but he can't remember. Plus, they're all his existing friends, not new friends.
I think this song is about re-discovering what you already have. In a nutshell, it has the same message as "The Wizard of Oz".
