Would we even leave Garron, or could we find a way to flip the power switch and take control of our lives if we stayed here?
Saying his life is like a power switch is an interesting metaphor - we know Devon doesn't think his life is worth anything, but this phrasing suggests that he thinks that one day his life may change for the better. But still this is very passive of him - a power switch can't turn itself on. In waiting for someone (or something) to help kick-start his life, Devon is continuing to avoid responsibility - he needs to take control of his life, and yet he doesn't know how.
