0If you look up "kryptonite" on Google, you'll find it's an imaginary material in the DC (Detective Comics?) universe. I guess you can make a parallel between that line and the one that goes "looking for special things inside of me":02br
02br
00looking for // digging for02br
02br
00special things // kryptonite02br
02br
00inside of me //

The song's about superman.
According to DC comics, kryptonite makes him 'normal' (no super powers)
being on a one way street could mean not looking back in life/no options, no where to go?
altogether it could mean trying to be normal
You might never know, to get an entirely accurate meaning, you'll have to ask the songwriter himself/herself
