Bowie sings NOT, only, about Berlin. Bowie take us to ourselves where we are now: Just walking the dead.
The wall is still there, you know.
Where are we now, asks David Bowie in his new single. The Guardian's former Berlin correspondent helps him identify key Berlin landmarks in his video

Intellectual Emptiness: Paris Summit Proves Europe Needs New Thinkers
By Ullrich Fichtner, Spiegel, 02/06/2013
“It was billed as a major summit of Europe's top intellectual icons, whose brilliance would light the path toward solving the Continent's crises. But, if anything, the recent powwow in Paris on the future of Europe only proved that it badly needs new thinkers.”Fichtner ends his report with these proficient words.
“And how should we react to those who are constantly telling us about gloom and doom scenarios or quoting Goethe and Shakespeare? We should stick out our tongues or thumb our noses at them.”http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/paris-summit-proves-europe-needs-new-thinkers-a-881872.html

However, before anything new, we need to get rid of the fucking Wall, goddamn it.
The Wall is made of CENSORSHIP: by journalists, the political élite and the so-called academics. When their static culture from hell, based on total obedience, is gone. Then, we can restart our civilisation.
If you want to regain, or to get the meaning of life; for that not yet existing culture. Take this..Observe this stuff demands that you are immersed into the sound.
If you don't know them yet. They are something like Radiohead + Röyksopp + Prince x Björk x The Knife x Yes + and on top of that a teaspoon of Fleetwood Mac
