I love that this song is open to so many personal interpretations. Hutchence said it was about city life, but I've always read a deeper meaning based on that idea. "Story to Story" always seemed to me to have a double meaning. That is that whether you're going up or down, whichever way in life, we pass each other and don't take advantage of making connections. I don't think of him saying it in a judgmental way, just a gentle nudge that you could make more of connecting with people if you wanted. Great song all the way around.
