The song Chicago is about a dystopian hellscape where the narrator of the song and his friend get detained on the way to New York and sent to a detainment and brainwashing camp in Chicago

[Verse 1]
I fell in love again
All things go, all things go
Drove to Chicago
All things know, all things know
We sold our clothes to the state
I don't mind, I don't mind
I made a lot of mistakes
In my mind, in my mind

>The narrator has been captured and is being driven in a transport vehicle to the detainment camp located in Chicago. The State has taken all his possessions, including his clothes. He convinces himself he is okay with this because he has no choice. He also tries to reconcile that he was the one in the wrong for wanting freedom when that desire is strictly forbidden by The State.

[Chorus]
You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our mind set
All things know, all things know
You had to find it
All things go, all things go

>The State intercepted the narrator and his friend on the way to New York to take them to the detainment camp located in Chicago. They are going to strip them of their identity and brainwash them into letting go of their desires for freedom.

[Verse 2]
I drove to New York
In a van, with my friend
We slept in parking lots
I don't mind, I don't mind
I was in love with the place
In my mind, in my mind
I made a lot of mistakes
In my mind, in my mind

>The narrator and his friend were on the run in a van escaping The State for a shot at a new life and for a shot a freedom. He was in love with the idea of getting a fresh start but now after being caught he is seeing it as a mistake because of the hopelessness of their situation.

[Bridge]
If I was crying
In the van, with my friend
It was for freedom
From myself and from the land
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes

>The narrator was crying in the van when caught by The State when the feelings of helplessness washed over them. All he wanted was to be free and live freely but knows that it can never be achieved. He sees it ultimately as a mistake.
