When the Decemberists played in Boston two years ago, Colin Meloy said that he used to go out with a girl who was from Boston and he and her mom did the freedom trail (I guess the girlfriend refused to do it or something). This might be about his trip to Boston. The blue line probably refers to the Train system in Boston and the T's blue line mostly goes along the waterfront, it leads to the aquarium and airport. The subway system in Boston up until two years ago took tokens (hence the mention of him losing his token).
