I believe this song is from the point of view of a survivor during the post-apocalypse due to a nuclear war. He’s talking to a solider on the other side. When he says “If you smile at me/ You know I’ll understand...” I think that’s a way of saying that despite being on the opposing side, the damage is already done due to the fighting of the wars and now it’s time for everyone to band together to survive and be friendly- because that’s all that’s left. The survivor singing/telling the story is friendly, I believe. The survivors are using ships to escape the wastelands of the mainland from the atomic blasts. Interestingly enough, Grace Slick insulted the entire audience in Hamburg Germany during a 1978 tour for the Earth album, when she made multiple comments on how they lost WW2. If you listen to transcripts from that show, you can only hear her famously ask, “who won the war?” During that part of the song when they performed this. All in all, this is my point of view and what I know. I love Grace Slick and don’t intend to make her look bad by saying this. But that’s what happened. I do like this version a lot better than the CSN version also. |
