Owl City: Metropolis Meaning

Metropolis Lyrics

Oh oh, I can't even take it in.
Oh oh, I can't even take it in.
Oh oh, I left my heart in Metropolis.

So far apart, I check that the coast was clear,
I feel like a post card, I wish you were here.
Subway through the dark, tearing through...

   Based form the lyrics, seems to me that it means like, a long distance relation ship where the guy is in some kind of meteopolis
   
   "I wish you were here"
   "Youre the only one the only one who can get to me"
   "As long as im coming back home to you"

   About METROPOLIS by Owl City.
   The theme of this music video was snapped out of the 1927 movie, Metropolis, in a nutshell, the movie portrays a city that was built on the sweat of the low classed citizens aka "the workers" under the hard influence and oppression of the elites "the thinkers" with no mediator for the salvation of these workers.
   Owl City's Metropolis video portrays scenes of opression of which young and helpless teens were bullied by a sturdy high school fellow severally. All scenes of this injustice was
   witnessed by another high school teen who on the final scene of the video acted as the vindicator by saving his classmate and crush of another bully attempt.
   In conclusion, both stories portray injustice and oppression of the weak by the strong but in Owl City's Metropolis there was a vindication. This clearly implies that he is not in support of the illuminati and the wicked music industry which enslaves the mind of the masses with violence, lust and all other forms evil as the character Maria did in the 1927 Metropolis movie. The symbolism on Owl City's video points directly at the 1927 movie, Metropolis.
   Thank you

   This song is probably about Superman and Lois Lane, seeing that Superman's home town is Metropolis... that's my guess anyway. :)
