The industrial and urban waste tones that come through in this song- the field full of tires, the shopping cart in the ravine, the hydro electric dam, as well as the unspoken image of rows and rows of electrical wire towers spanning the landscape- all feed into this "no place like home" ideal. The home environment doesn't seem ideal from the outside, but from the point of the narrator therer is no place like it.
