to me, this song is about depression. the person he's speaking to is depressed and moves to a big city to try and fix the problem, but you can turn a city upside down, and if the problem is inside you, you'll still be depressed. you can from your problems, you can get in the car and try to find comfort on the road, but all there is is cold cement, and your problems are still right there with you. my sister found that out for herself, and then when I was depressed later on, she told me to be careful not to run, because my problems would be right there with me.
