Oh, for pete's sake, of course this song is about alien abduction. The name of the band, "A Flock of Seagulls" is from some quote on being abducted, the authorities scoff at the report, saying the victim saw a flock, not a UFO. the beam of light from a "cloud" is the girl getting abducted, but the singer, at first terrified (and running), but in the end in love, reaches out to touch her, and floats in the beam with her, getting abducted too. |

| Talking Heads – Life During Wartime Lyrics

Well, this was a very popular song among us volunteers when we were fighting in the Bosnian war (I had a CD Walkman and a TH CD, mp3 players not having been invented yet), it very much reflected what "life during wartime" is really like. But war can also be a metaphor for daily life, and the song could say that, too, with the line "We dress like students, we dress like housewives, or in a suit and a tie", so it could be about the struggle of normal existence. |
