Songs touch us in different ways. We're not all the same so songs will always mean something different to each of us.
To me this song is all about a person who experiences true love for the first time. When love "walks in" it's like an alien; it's different. We're never the same again and life changes. We see things differently.
And then you sense a change
Nothin' feels the same
All your dreams are strange
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Simply pulls a string
@Bigg You're on the right track, but Sammy Hagar was around 38 years old when he wrote this song. It's written from the point of view of someone who hasn't been in love for so long it becomes almost alien to them (i.e. the person wonders if they'll ever experience true love again). Sammy had fun with the lyrics (all the alien references), because he knew from personal experience it was just a matter of time before...

I think the Love thing hits it right on the head. The string is a heart string, and it can't be seen, hence "Some kind of alien" anything strange, foreign or different is alien. That opening is when you let your guard down, and love just comes walking in to take over. You'll feel like you are on another planet and have gone crazy.
