I can't really figure out why the window's a wound and the road is a knife. Is it because the road (all the traveling he has done) has taken away his peace and tranquility? The window is a wound caused by the road/traveling...hmm. So I guess he no longer thinks of the world a toy but too much of something too good to see. He must heal the wound by staying in one place for a while? It's my best guess.

@singlebarrel94 The window's a wound because when he looks out the window to the place that brings back so many memories of innocence and hope, it hurts like an open wound. The road is the knife that opened that wound.
