I think it's just a song about the different thoughts people have nowadays when travelling on the Tube. I don't think it's specifically about Jean Charles de Menezes, just any Asian person travelling on the Tube, especially carrying a backpack, who gets suspicious looks. You can feel the tension on the Tube and see the suspicious eyes all the time now.
In my opinion, it's not about one person or one event. Maybe it was inspired by that story, but I think to say it's just about Jean would be like saying it only happened to him. To me it's much more about the everyday prejudice that goes unspoken.
