Facepalm

When I saw the name Song Meanings, I knew immediately they were not secretly on a mission to educate people about my clueless, subjective conjecture. Save that pollution for the appropriate social media-dumpster as well as the probable nonsequitur of biased, blubbering blatherskite as well as the easily offended tearful pleas. Your feigned outrage is irrelevant; especially if you weren't even born yet. Scores a perfect 10 on my generation's Dont Give A Shit list. You lazy little assholes act like u cant even Google better than an old fart like me, lol

Unless its your song, nobody gives a credible shit about your impetuous, unqualified opines. In spite of our generational values' contrast from 1982 til present time, you should have enough sense in your head to not have to be told that legitimate interpretations of song meanings, if any, truly belongs to those who created it. And I meant all the aforementioned in the nicest way possible.

NOW STFU AND PAY ATTENTION, GODDAMMIT:

From Dale's 2014 interview about the album "Missing In Action"

"Coping with the death of her brother has led Bozzio to bring up one of Missing Persons' biggest hits, which back in 1982 seemed like a slice of lightweight new wave pop, but now it has taken on much heavier meaning. "I wrote 'Destination Unknown' about this exact situation," she says, "knowing that someday I would pass away. It was just the way it was going to be. I wouldn't have a chance to say 'yes' or 'no.'"

My comment wins.

My Interpretation

Good to know that the actual meaning has been cleared up now, but if you're going to ridicule everyone here for not searching up information on the song's meaning that was available at the time, then the least you could do is back it up by using a source predating most of the comments on here.
