Read simply, this song could just be about Dybdahl's own experience of New York's hard exterior. Perhaps as a travelling musician he found it difficult to get a break there, but he continued.
This song is about the triumph of human spirit. We all get knocked-down, we all suffer regrets and trials, but we pick ourselves up and carry on. New York is supposed to be an unforgiving, hostile place and from this we can draw parallels to our own lives.
Not only does it have lovely lyrics (I am a huge fan of Dybdahl's lyrics) but it has depth, beauty and soul. Joie de vivre.
