This pretty much sounds like this song is about how Brian Fallon had writer's block when writing this album. It was easier to write songs when he was young, but then he felt as though he might "explode inside". He realised that once he stopped trying so hard the words came to him ("Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment that might never arrive").
Kerrang! magazine said that the Manhatten line comes from the e-mail which their guy sent to the band when they first heard of them and wanted to meet them.
