I think that this song is about parents that control their children's lives and are unwilling to let them make their own decisions. The "we" in this song is the parents and Nigel is their son. They're planning out his whole life while he is still very young, maybe even too young to understand what is really going on.

Its a great song and i can't believe only one other person has commented on it. Definately check it out if you haven't heard it.
