Originally, this was meant to be a comment on the yellow brick road and the nature of heading off into the unknown, However, conditions in life can change rapidly causing sudden shifts in perception. Now it appears more as a 'line in the sand' or 'dare you to cross this line' or 'stay on your own side of the line'. Such is how it speaks to me.
You think you're part of something only to realize you actually are just over there, not truly a member of the group - just a hanger-on - with scant chance of ever gaining full acceptance. Most of the time the signals are subtle but very clear on not intruding into this other personal place and thinking you can ever be a full participant. At most, you are only entitled to toe up to the line, mind your manners, and occasionally, be allowed to pretend you are welcome.
