Some time ago I read an article about "Operation: New Life" which was a military operation in 1975 dedicated to transition large groups of Vietnam war refugees to western countries. I wouldn't expect this kind of reference from Vince's early lyrics, but suddenly the story of a stranger transitioned to another place where the features fuse and his shadow's red seems kinda fitting.
