The song is about a friend of Okereke (the lead singer and song writer) who hears voices.
Excerpt from song:
She’s hearing voices call her
She’s hearing voices warn her
She just can’t sleep in her bed
She just can’t sleep
She’s falling down the stairs
She’s tearing out her hair
She’s screaming my name, in the night
To keep her warmShe got a red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Red pill blue pill
Milk of amnesia
