I love how songs can mean different things. For example, I see that one can see this song as a soldier's letter to his city. He's remembering all the good that has been experienced there, while sitting in front of burning buildings in a desert war. He spies a child's toy soldier sitting on the ground near him with the neck frayed severely, thus resembling a bobblehead in the wind. It's a happy memory, and Erin laughs in the background. Now there are new memories, the gristly memories of war, caused by the inane implications of pride. He sees that there must be a policy change that will "blow the world away," this square world of straight and quick roads. There's nothing to do but "hold on tight." :)
