its about Area 51....and someone tries the door- nob,....none of my friends would be so stupidly impacient...but how i loved our secred meetings....smiling...voices growin louder, irritation building, CRACKIN UP....we talked and talked in quiet voices....these walls had witnessed all the anguish of Humiliation...and now they ve come to take me..it isnt unexpected....Area 51.....
How actual was this song in the time of its time in 80´s. I think it is still actual and valid after almost 30 years. Are we alone in the universe? "Is there anybody out there?"
I love this song. I learned English through this song. Vive la ABBA!!!
Does anyone remember this song coming on in the early 80's while you were on the dance floor... taking a hit of poppers and going wild dancing with your friends?
I heard that this was one of the most well received songs on American radio that year but it's play was stiffled and it never made it. The Visitors was an amazing album.
i love ABBA, but this song especially. it reminds me of my late 1980's lsd-induced slice of life i can't quite remember, but what fun!!! this song just puts me back at the club, peaking, in 1989!!!!
Once for all this music is NOT about alien abductions for christ's sakes!!! benny and bjorn often said the song is really about the fear that haunted the soviets during dictatorship... dont you get the subtilness in the lyrics? dont forget that during this time abba's lyrics weren't so superficial and obvious!
well i always thought it was a neurotic housewife not wanting to deal with a busy social life, isn`t it great how people get such different ideas from the same thing, abbas best track
Nice work. I tend hear this song as being about alien abductions, too. I also hear it as about being taken to the mad house. Or maybe about getting news from the military that a loved one has been killed at war.
Thisone is one of the best from Visitors album, One of us is awesome also.

As per Abba interviews, the song is a political comment directed at the soviet union.

Then you didn't learn it very well, go read the lyrics. It's not about aliens.

True.
The song is about the dissidents in the former Soviet Union, and the fear they lived with.

I think it's about Angels. Just a thought. I've been playing this song from the day it was released. No.1!

My idea is that they are talking about abgels - that's what I get out of it - a great song from a fun time at the Parade Disco in New Orleans.
