Sam talked about the meaning of this song in an interview: "...It's just feeling like there is a glass wall between you and the world and you're not really a part of it. You see how strange these people are and these things are that happen and it's as though they all know something that you don't or they speak in a code, they have like a secret language. And you're not a part of it. Everybody knows something that you don't. I guess that's what The Spectator is about."
