Pfft. What's up with people assuming it's about LSD??? C'mon now. It's Coldplay. They don't need drugs to be poetic.
So, I just have to say first of all, that this song is GORGEOUS!!! So haunting.
Also, I think this song alludes to Orwell's 1984, or even just the eerie ways of some totalitarian and / or communist governments. You know, not being able to live life without fear and constantly having your actions monitered by 'spies'.

Again, beautiful beautiful song.

@MissLeto Totally agree with the 1984 parallels. Glad someone else sees it.
