Discover the story of the song > Wonderboy – Alphaville

The protagonist is admitting that he hasn't been doing well for a while, but now he's starting to feel better. He's been listening to music, specifically songs by David Bowie and the Pet Shop Boys, and it's helping him feel better. When something bad happens and it feels like the end of the world, he imagines that the saints are coming and everyone starts to cry. He then tells the protagonist to wake up and warns that he hasn't been feeling well and has been feeling lost, trying to follow the paths of his partner. He feels like his partner is far above him while he's stuck dreaming and feeling like he's underwater. When the stars start to shine, he wants to be part of that moment. He then describes how something like LSD to fantasy, gasoline to fire, or virgin blood to a vampire makes everyone smile, because he's feeling like the wonderboy again. He tells the wonderboy to wake up again.
