I think the meaning is quite obvious. Growing up in a small town and feeling trapped and needing to get out both physically and mentally. But what’s also obvious is his genius in the lyrics. I could write this song by simply writing
Nothing happens here after the sun goes down the streets are empty and there is nothing to do. But Dylan writes
Evening empire returns to sand(I believe a reference to the sandman) and ancient empty streets to dead for Dreaming. I could go on and analyze every line but I think I made my point. There is only one Bob Dylan. His lyrics are genius and Magic
