Cover art for Silo Lullaby lyrics by Toad the Wet Sprocket

This song is actually about a man sitting in a nuclear silo having just recieved the order to push the button. He knows what he has to do and is ready to sacrifice everything for it.

I'm a bit at a loss as to what this man is about to do. It seems like he's about to ignore the order outright. Maybe someone here can tell me if that's true.
