Cover art for Bus Stop Boxer lyrics by Eels

"I don't miss where I came from But each night I dream about being back home"

Are among my favourite opening lines to any song. It beautifully sums up the ambivalence towards your home when you have been displaced.

I think this song is about a desperation to find meaning.

Song Meaning

I aggree with you completely here. I can only but derive the same meaning here that you do.
