OK. After many years and hundreds of listens, what are the 'false alarms' in Amelia? In the Icarus verse I understand the false alarm to be a love affair that didn't work out. But what about in the other verses? They all end in 'it was just a false alarm.' What does IT refer to? There isn't an obvious subject for the pronoun. This has been driving me a little crazy for almost 30 years now.
