It's not about that...
It's abot the fact that @GhostofCain brought up... In the movie Helmuth Von Moltke is speaking about the lyrical depth of Iron Maiden and he is immediately followed by (or preceeded by) Prowler.
I just found that hillarious.

I couldn't find the whole interview, but this quote from Bruce is cool and very true:
''Other bands make records, whereas we create world.''
The Rock Show with Shaun Keaveny - Bruce Dickinson talks 50 years of Iron Maiden! - BBC Sounds
Shaun welcomes Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson to talk about the band's new documentary.

Not sure if that will work outside the UK

Not immediately preceded by, but having someone as esteemed as @Helmuth Von Moltke talking about the weighty nature of Iron Maiden lyrics when previously in the film they had a long segment with the band playing Prowler live was unintentionally funny.

I am just looking forward to the day when @Helmuth Von Moltke finally releases a paper on the historical depth of Prowler’s lyrics. Hopefully it is available to download on JSTOR!Not immediately preceded by, but having someone as esteemed as @Helmuth Von Moltke talking about the weighty nature of Iron Maiden lyrics when previously in the film they had a long segment with the band playing Prowler live was unintentionally funny.

I don't know what the hell everybody is going on about?! Are you all perverts? The lyrics are obviously about the void of human isolation. The city is full of life ("ladies flashing"), but the narrator is completely disconnected, crawling in the shadows. "It" represents the massive, empty void of extreme loneliness and alienation - IT is open wide. The narrator opens this void wide to the world, desperately asking, "What you seeing, girl?" as a plea to be acknowledged as a human being. "Feeling myself" is a desperate, physical attempt to confirm their own existence because they feel like an invisible ghost ("nothing's with me").
It's crazy no one has done a dissertation on this subject when you think about it.
