Thanks for that. It hasn't cleared anything up at all, but it has enlightened me on the many possibilities.

I've always seen it as getting away from all the craziness in the world and escaping to a place where everything and everyone is equal (there's no specific names to the streets, which can imply that there's no labels on things or people, nobody's known by where they live or whatever-everyone's just accepted for who they are), and where it's quiet and peaceful.

It reminds me of this poem by WB Yeats...

The Lake Isle Of Innisfree

I WILL arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the mourning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.

It's heaven or paradise or whatever that place is you dream about when things are rough.

That's how I always imagined it. I think of the 1st part as life & then the end is death and heaven.
