Well, I'll comment. I love this song, especially the "We are just victims of the same situation."
It seems to be about a couple in a war. They say they're in love and want to get married, but that might just be because of their dire circumstances. Their lives might end soon, so why not? I just get this sense from the song that their love might not be deep, and they're likely rushing into things, but who could really blame them?
"They say they're in love and want to get married, but that might just be because of their dire circumstances. Their lives might end soon" ---- could be. the "without return" in the title could suggest that.
also since he sings about kodachrome which was a film manufactured in 1935 and pretty much used during the 40s it could suggest that they're stuck in ww2 in germania aka berlin the reichshaupstadt. maybe the smell what's going to happen and that they can't escape that situation but only take the chance to marry now before it's too late. i wouldn't even think...

"when i see you naked, i see more than the flesh" and "don't question my love" pretty much says it.

i wouldn't even think their love isn't deep..maybe just buried under miserable circumstances which often tends to make you feel and act like your love is not strong enough anymore. "when i see you naked, i see more than the flesh" and "don't question my love" pretty much says it.
plus:
"Do you spend your whole life trying to get back home?"
"What do you know about where I come from?
What do you know?
Tell me, what do you know?
About who I am?"
"And I don't know you, baby.
You don't know me."

i come from berlin and i heard stories from family how it was when the hometown was bombed..that it was kinda like your whole familiar background and hometown vanished and i bet it feels like you don't know anymore where you belong and where you come from. i often feel like this with my own history, since i come from the gdr and it's vanished and changed so much, too. you feel kinda lost.

not only do i get the feeling they're lost about where they come from but also lost in general... with themselves and both stuck. so marriage could give you some kind of "home" and stability. people often do such a thing or make a baby in hope it would change things to the better.
"It doesn't make much sense, but maybe nothing does." -- could suggest that since they seem pretty hopeless and so they grab for any little straw.
