I live in Ontario, and although I wasn't born here, I think those lyrics can be related to anywhere in the world.
"What a shame to know nothing more
Than the town where you were born"
It's the artist's view that a life should not be wasted living a simple life and not know anything outside of your community/town/city. In essence, you are a slave to a world of walls built around you and you do nothing to at least attempt to break them and be set free.
It's sad, but many people choose to live in one place their whole life, unaware of what the world has to offer, if they just extended their hand and grabbed it.
People are born, live their whole pathetic life, and die, in a patch of land they call home - no one to remember them, in complete isolation.
While the artist wanted to see what the world has to offer, to expand his knowledge and mind, and to experience life, people from his town chose to stay behind and know nothing about the world other than their home town.
This song is a wake up call, not just for people living in small towns, but for everyone - if you are not living life to its fullest, you do not deserve to live.
Amazing song, very strong lyrics.
