Lyric discussion by Counterclockwerk 

This song is about the cold war. Back when the Soviets and the U.S. were the only super powers. And, they both hed their nukes pointed at each other waiting for someone on either side to attack. Killer Of Giants!!!

@alcoholiko

is this your interpretation or do you have a source for this? pls.

@Counterclockwerk considering this song was written, released and made popular at the height of the cold war between the US and Russia, that was the weight it held to us in the 80s, therefore, that's what we knew it to be.
