from Wikipedia:
"The lyrics of each of the stanzas differ entirely from Bowie's. The subject of the song has been updated from that of irony-touched love in the shadow of the Berlin Wall in Bowie's version to the present-day street-life interactions of a couple. The title of the song also drops the extra quotation marks that are present in the title of Bowie's song. In that song, the extra quotes in the title were an affectation meant to invoke an ironic mood."
i mean...

feel like "Pompeii" was also working something close to this grain - more in affect and associations (doomed legendary city, walls crashing down - EPIC SHIT) than the actual plot which is more of a breakup-at-the-end-of-the-world kinda thing.

ozymandias, meet mans zelmerlow
What if I’m the only hero leftYou better fire off your gunOnce and forever
He said go dry your eyesAnd live your life like there is no tomorrow sonAnd tell the othersTo go sing it like a hummingbirdThe greatest anthem ever heard
We are the heroes of our timeBut we’re dancing with the demons in our minds
We are the heroes of our timeHeroes
But were dancing with the demons in our mindsHeroes

feel like ground zero for the current manifestation of this (which is maybe lessening somewhat now?) was diamonds by rihanna. even tho it's a personal description of how ecstasy makes the user feel (which is maybe the subtext to a lot of these actually??) it ties that feeling of intense, positive intimacy to a vast, universe-large invincibility. fuck it man i don't need a coat! but mate it's freezing! I'M LIKE DIAMONDS IN THE SKY
