It's a very straightforward song, with a bit of a meaning that could be more broad.
"Hey you watching me, lookin' through a screen"
It's hard to say what the singer is talking about here, but it's very likely directly addressing the listener. Maybe trying to get anyone listening to empathize strongly with what it is he's really feeling. Especially with "yeah we all live under the same sun", which reinforce the point that the singer wants people to not just listen but feel the conflicting feelings.
The singer has an emotional attachment to a place, to the memories he made there, and likely to the people that he met there.
"I left my heart in Amsterdam"
He says it so frequently, so passionately, because it's a place that he felt very 'at home' with.
"I hit my head up against the wall, over and over,"
He's not just sad or depressed about missing Amsterdam, he's livid and miserable. There's something about his life in that moment that makes him wish he could be in a place that made him feel peace and joy. Especially in the way the singer repeats himself "over and over and over again" in such a manner.
It's fair to say this is a song that could be very relatable for people who long for different places in general. It's a song about missing a place and time in one's life, something that they can never entirely get back.
@Larpskur Pretty sure ‘Hey you watching me // Lookin' through a screen // I'm here in front of you’ is referring to people at concerts who record them the whole time, and ultimately end up watching it on their phone rather than enjoying the real thing. Seems Mr Mason got a bit fed up with it.
