The song is widely interpreted to be an allusion to nuclear war. And there are references to such throughout the track, like the “mushroom cloud” symbolism which is undoubtedly associated to the detonation of atomic bombs. In fact Queen guitarist Brian May, who wrote the track, himself admitted to the anxiety he felt as a youth during the infamous Cuban Missile Crisis. However, that is the subject of only one of the four choruses of the song. Instead “Hammer to Fall” in its entirety is actually a track about the inevitability of death. As such, we find the band making some interesting comments on this subject, such as the fact that ultimately “history won’t care at all” when we pass away. They also present death accurately as something that happens to all of us, regardless of wealth or social standing. In terms of getting more Queenish concerning the matter, the band uses the second verse to criticize Western society in general. Their specific gripe seems to be with people who are obsessed with their outward appearance while inwardly they are indeed ‘decaying’. Ultimately, as aforementioned, this song is about death being something that no one can avoid. But the conclusion of the track advises us that while we’re waiting for the “hammer to fall”, as in for the grim reaper to come a-knocking, we should continue to get our rock on!
