What a great song! I also first heard this in the VW Bug "Vapor" commercial and never realized it was a Hooverphonic song until I heard it on the Blue Wonder Power Milk CD some time later.
This song always reminds me of the late 1990's, at the height of the dot.com frenzy, and towards the end of the last time when anything would ever be "normal" in this country (prior to 9-11).
I think this song is about emotionally immature adults in a fast paced world trying to carry on a relationship that isn't healthy for either of them and which, no matter how "perfect" things are when they are together, you know it is not going to last.
The arrangements, sound design, and production on this song are some of the best you will find in modern music anywhere.
