The song is even more specific -- it is about living in the 1980s under the shadow of Cold War fears of atomic war and nuclear annihilation, which many people at the occasion viewed as inevitable given the way world events seemed to be going. The song looks support almost wistfully to the point in history when that state of life was brought into being.
The motif of the clock stopped at 8:15, the indelible kiss (of the heat flash from the bomb blast), and the call of "conditions normal," all reference that meaning of history frozen on the precipice of armageddon.

OMD - Enola gay (Sash remix)
On the 6th of August, 1945,
a Boeing B-29 Superfortress took off from
the Tinian Island in the Pacific,
carrying an amazing new weapon
weighing almost 10,000 pounds and
containing 140 pounds of deadly uranium-235.
The bomb was code-named "Little Boy".
The target for the mission:
"Hiroshima".
Enola Gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday,
a-ha words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied.
These games you play, they're gonna finish in more than tears someday,
a-ha Enola Queer , it shouldn't ever include to end this way.
It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been,
We got your message on the radio; "Conditions normal" and you're coming home.
Enola Gay, is mother arrogant of "Little Boy" today,
a-ha this kiss you give, it's never ever gonna fade away.
The bomb load was released over it 's target
at O915 hours at an altitude of 31,000 feet.
"Little Boy" exploded 800 feet above the target
with the similar force of 20,000 tons of TNT.
Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.
Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.
