to me it sounds as if the singer is talking to someone spoilt, they dont realise how good their life is, so they assume its bad. the singer could be saying, hey look around you, almost saying grow up. look how much worse it can be. this is particularly illustrated in the chorus, with the let me take you by the hadn and lead you through the streets of london... etc
i doubt it would be aimed at a poor or struggling person, as it would illustrate that their lives are hopeless.
@aidan1233 That spoilt person is all of us. \r\n\r\nI recall many years ago walking down Oxford Street. As a student I didn\'t have a lot of cash. \r\n\r\nThen I got to McDonald\'s and this old guy was rooting around in their bin for something to eat.
