@[MetalHeadSJ:43806] This interpretation is spot on and much more eloquent than what I wrote. I agree completely with this premise. I wonder if you have read the book The Last Ship by William Brinkley. |

This song is about a post apocalyptic world. Soldiers from opposite sides meet each other with caution and smile and share some berries. A nuclear war has wiped out most of humanity, and the survivors are forced to sail around the world endlessly on wooden ships of their own making in order to avoid annihilation. Read the novel The Last Ship by William Brinkley and you will see the similarities in the song and the general theme of the book. |

This song is indeed about a post apocalyptic world. The people on the ships are the only ones able to escape the nuclear holocaust. They are forced to sail endlessly without touching land in order to avoid annihilation. They see the people on the shore (silver from radiation poisoning?) still fighting each other. If anybody out there has read the book The Last Ship by William Brinkley, they will immediately sync with the story told in the song. Kantner and Crosby are geniuses. |
