I know that I surely wasn’t the only one hoping this song and video would be about the movie and the television series about the aliens coming to Earth and becoming a part of the regular population.

Well, it’s not.

Instead, it’s about the reunification of Germany and the struggle of some to adjust to it.  (The name of the song has a double meaning, as it’s about both a new world and human alienation.)  It makes sense since Scorpions is a German band.  This song appeared on their 12th studio album, Face the Heat, and is one of the few directly political songs to be recorded by Scorpions.

Enjoy!
