This songs lyrics have a very post-apocalyptic theme to them. Particularly when Stan sings "out my window there's nothin where a city used to be, phone line dead the power gone there's nothin on TV! cant understand what happened to, all the plans I made! I turn on the radio and hear the signal fade...." Given that this song was written and recorded in 1982, it reminds me of someone waking up to the aftermath of a nuclear war and thinking of how trivial and superficial his life focuses have been.
