The Hush Sound – Hourglass Lyrics 16 years ago
For me, the line "That's when the puzzle was finally pieced" could be a reference to "City Traffic Puzzle," which leads me to believe that this is a sort of reprise to that song.

Nena – 99 Red Balloons Lyrics 16 years ago
Okay, so we've established that this is about the Cold War.

Hopefully I'm not pointing out the obvious/ repeating another user/ completely misguided, but-

This pretty much about people freaking out over nothing (Second Red Scare, anyone?) and becoming so paranoid they end up destroying themselves in their attempt to destroy their "enemy." (I suggest reading the script/ watching the episode "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" of the X-Files, which I happened to see around the first time I heard the song. It's pretty much a different take on the same exact concept.)
