I think he's talking about the chaos faced, when making a transition from a kid to an adult, and learning he would have to do somethings he never thought he'd ever do and he feels forced to conform if he's to make it in this life, His voice makes him sound like he's being torn in to different directions. A part of him wants to grow up and be successful and other wants to just let things go and just live his dream.
Nice. I love how you can't even posts your actual criticisms. No, you just waltz in, "Bloc Party suck" and walk out. Further proving your a troll is that you pretty much have to look up this song to find it, because it isn't a single nor is popular, meaning your trolling. Obvious troll is obvious. Have fun in your basement.
this video is really good, but I think it would of been better if you used only performance and fireworks.

I think this song easier to understnad than some of their other.
I think its about The future, it comes quicker than you realise, plans made and not carried out, things not turning out the way you expected.
Which is sadly is true.
" We make plans for big times, get bogged down distrscted"
Another brillant Bloc Party song!

I ♥ this song my fave =] Wake up dreamer
It's happening without you
Cut your hair and shave your beard
You squandered your chances

Stop being so laissez-faire
