    this song is so relatable to everyone because it has so much room for interpretation. it is definitely an artistic masterpiece in my unqualififed opinion for this feat alone

    this song might even be about becoming famous. the alien abduction is a metaphor for how the paparazzi and the fans probe into all the little details of his personal life, checking his blood type etc. the public don't really care about his feelings - they don't dwell on his transmission because it isn't televised. he wishes he could just return to his old home town, but knows he never really can escape his fame.
    the "starmaker" is his record producer. they find musicians and make stars out of them.
    these are his own thoughts about his own life. so at the end of the song he says "it's all in _my_ mind"
    really though, there are so many possible metaphors in this song that I can't be sure. either way though, I love this song.

      Im 100% sure it is. Star making (turning people into famous people), dream maker (making your dream of being special becomes true), also the alienation of life, taking a person away from reality... Great comment!

    I first discovered this song while driving down a highway in the middle of nowhere at 2AM. I was freaked out by it and turned the radio off a minute in. But I looked it up later and discovered the Killers, who are now one of my favourite bands. So that's a plus.

    I swapped channels on the comms to something more congenial, easy riding maybe and the random locals, as I weaved by the old Bank of England, through a motorised tapestry… The Threadneedle line… entwined… a ceaseless swell of machines and the preoccupied, commuters… absorbed by the hugely epileptic commercials… or rapt inside the private introversions. Despite the rain and the ungodly time the walkways were packed, near crawling and the conveyor lines was much the same… there was not an inch of space to make a jump…
