Dystopian vision of future anarchy and decay, as portrayed in several sci-fi films of the 1980s.
The song conjures images of "Rotten Apple" New York, or even parts of present day Detroit. "Ruins and leavers everywhere" seems to refer directly to the abandonment of urban centers as anarchy takes hold.
"Behind every spy hole" has two meanings: 1. a suggestion of an authoritarian government monitoring its citizens 2. those citizens monitoring each other through fear and mistrust.
I can't listen to this without immediately thinking about Terminator, Running Man, Blade Runner, Escape from New York, Robocop, They Live, etc.
