Each man represents a different way of living his life. One likes the sheltered, routine life he has grown comfortable with; the other, who I relate to myself, loves to travel, experience new things, and never really stay attached.
But at the end of the day, they have one similarity that differs only in context. They don't want to be alone. One achieves this by keeping the people he knows well close to him by staying put in one place; the other achieves this by going to new places and meeting strangers - new people every day. Both produce the same result.
This is such a powerful song to me. We are all different in the ways we live our life but we all share the similar quality of yearning for company. They both see the beauty in living their lives the way they were meant to live them and can both appreciate the beauty in each other's choices, as well. But they also know that they could never divulge in the other's way of life - it's in the "blueprint of their soul", it's how they get what they want out of life.
Hands down my favorite song on this album.
