I think this song could serve as a tribute to Radiohead. Observe:
"Wake me, shake me from my sleepiness"
Sort of like...
"Wake from your sleep...." from "Exit Music"
"Inside out and upside down"
Repetition of similar phrases reminds of "Sit Down. Stand Up."
"The wolf's at the door"
Obviously, "A Wolf at the Door"
"And all your streetfighting years"
"Street Spirit"?
"Lead me, guide me home old scatterbrain"
Obviously, "Scatterbrain."
However, this would rely heavily on the band not contructing this song until after the release of Hail to the Theif, and as much as I adore Keane, I'm not well-versed enough in their history to know that this is the story.
It's almost certain that my speculation is incorrect, but I think the idea's a bit funny, and I like it.
In actuality, I think this song could be about entering adulthood, sort of realizing getting by on your own is difficult and being an adult isn't all fun and games--sort of a wake-up call.
