Everybody says this song is about his hometown and getting to know yourself but I'm not certain that this is what he means. This song has a negative undertone, not positive. Whatever he is talking about he's talking down upon.
He compares the knowledge of the lights changing to watching teeth being pulled, something that I would think is bad... unless people from the NorthEast do some weird shit for fun.
He also refers to a bad fight. More correctly, your (or their) bad fight. He even says that he's going to lose this bad fight but seems to be comfortable with that since he is on the "good" team.
In short, I think the song is about how his view of society has changed from something simple and good when he was younger to something which he no longer understands and believes is bad.
Then again, I may have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. Just food for thought
