The meaning of this song is actually quite simple: it's about being lost in a strange place (in this case the city of L.A.) and coming across very unlikeable people who will try to end you or become obstacles in your life who have the guise of friends ("wolves whispering Hollywood's name"). The piano version is beautiful, but the album version (from "Little Voice") is incredibly beautiful with its mellow instrumentation and a kickass guitar solo.
