I seem to remember reading an interview with Sting /the Police where the song was about anxiety/fear over the very real 1980's possibility of nuclear war- referencing the Hiroshima vaporized persons who just left a shadow on the sidewalk visible even in the nuclear "rain" fallout. Also Multiple references to nuclear war on Dream of the Blue Turtles. Sting doesn't write shallow stuff. De do do do , de da da da
