* His Tardis is the armoire he steps into at the end of the Lazarus video. He stepped in to signal his coming regeneration and now there's a seemingly young English man with frequently red hair and excellent singing ability somewhere about.
** Creator/EddieRedmayne?
*** His name does kinda sound like a Bowie stage persona.

But the reaper was a fan, or knew that some of his best work was yet to come, so the rules were changed. He'd die after 27 ''albums'' instead.

[[WMG: Side 2 of "Heroes" is about a bombing and its aftermath.]]
No lyrics to interpret here, just sounds. "V-2 Schneider" refers to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket V-2 rocket]]; the music sounds like a rocket in flight. "Sense of Doubt" is about the devastation left behind, a city in ruins. "Moss Garden" is a peaceful scene of nature reclaiming the abandoned rubble. The wailing sax in "Neuköln" is the screaming of a lone survivor, calling out for help that will never come.

"The Secret Life Of Arabia" doesn't factor into this interpretation - that's just a misplaced track from ''Lodger''.

The story is about the end of our civilization and the dystopia that rises in its place. "Future Legend" describes a state of lawless chaos where roving gangs of "peoploids" are the only authority. But that chaos is short-lived as a new figure (perhaps Halloween Jack, perhaps someone else) rises to power and by the end people are calling for Big Brother to protect them.

Faking one's own death in such a manner might seem like a dick move, but Bowie is famous for DoingItForTheArt, so I can't help but think that he might have done it. After all, it feels better to think that this is the case, rather than him actually being dead.
