this is off the "uprising" album. Bob Marley was very close to death at this point. Came out in 1980 , he went in 1981. This song, it seems, is a proclamation. "My whole career I put out songs about fighting against the oppression and now on the eve of my death i see 'It seems like total destruction The only solution And there ain't no use
No one can stop them now"....its almost a "live your life, dont spend your time fighting a war you cant win"
The rest of the uprising album is generally positive and supportive of people fighting for freedom and justice. Do you think this song is based off some of his fears or did he actually think that he wasted his life fighting for an impossible cause.

Well, to me this is definitely one way to interpret the lyrics. To me the lyrics, beneath the happy, have a nice day organ music, are extremely sinister. I interpret them as having the meaning of one giant war, nation against nation, unleashing their nuclear power. "Total destruction is the only solution","Ain't no use, no one can stop them now".
