The album is a rock opera set in 1970s and 1980s England. The story involves unreliable narrators and meta-narrative plot devices. Drummer Jonah Falco described the album as a love story between the title character David and a girl named Veronica.〔Gotrich, Lars. (First Listen: F—— Up, 'David Comes To Life' ). NPR. 30 May 2011.

This time, it was very much like 'Here is what I am going through.' "〔Larson, Jeremy. (Interview: Damian Abraham (of Fucked Up) ). Consequence of Sound. 7 June 2011.
