"Who are they/Where are they/How can they possibly know all this? It is a song about the things that 'They' say, whoever 'They' are that we listen to and we act on without questioning. The example being, and what I wrote it about, was when I went to New York I had read in a New York guide, to not look people in the eye on the subway it kind of implied that I would get shot or something. When I got there I was really scared and literally would not look at anyone.
Years later I was on the subway everyday going to Brooklyn and I though; 'Oh my God, its fine!' I had completely believed this book. It made me think about all the things 'They' say." (Jem)
