In a recent interview, this is what Mat Kearney had to say about City of Black and White:

"City of Black and White was another song that I wrote with a friend. And actually wrote it in this apartment overlooking the Bosphorus River in Istanbul, which separates Europe and Asia, which is very odd, but the city is on both sides, you know it's like, literally divides the continents in half, and then there was like this new door opening up to a new project and a new idea. City of Black and White came out of that. And it was one of the first songs that I wrote."

I guess this doesn't really explain the song, rather the origins of how it was written, or what inspired it.
