Rome symbolizes something you can't avoid. Could be a place. A feeling. A person. And thus, the detached emotional state of finding yourself in a lonely and depressing, yet familiar situation. Or, it could represent life and death. In a lifetime, you lose everything. People you know; people you love, and eventually, yourself. There is nothing you can do to stop the cycle of life from occurring.
Life is a constant struggle of moving on from the things that happened in the past. People lie to you. Bad things happen to you. Can you really forget these things? No, you always end up back in Rome.
The white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, commonly associated with this statement, symbolizes the anxiety caused by the unstoppable passage of time. Time is always ticking, and time is the separation between past loss, current joy, and future loss. Slowly but surely, you will lose everything until you experience the ultimate loss: Your life.
No matter what, all good things must come to an end.
