I'm fairly certain this song is about swinging, sexually.

"Just looking for a new direction In an old familiar way The forming of a new connection To study or to play

And so the conversation turned Until the sun went down And many fantasies were learned On that day"

Sounds like 2(or more) couples were talking, found they had a bit of a connection and started talking about their fantasies in a frank manner.

The "The forming of a new connection. To study or to play" sounds like you just found a connection and you might stay with them for a while(study) or maybe only have a one-night stand(play).

It seems pretty straight forward about that, especially when it talks about "passion burning, love so strong".

@eric106109 Yes! Exactly how I interpreted the lyrics, it definitely sounds like budding ethical non-monogamy. As soon as “fantasies” is mentioned, it seems like there’s a good chance we’re talking about sex here.

Or unicorns. Or sex with unicorns.

But seriously, I wish I could find an interview where they talk about inspiration for this one. I’ll have to research The Human League and see if they had or knew people with fun leanings. Glad it wasn’t just me that thought of some group sexy fun times.
