The line "who was given a seat in the stand" should be "who was given a pat on the back"...If anyone cares. |

Dark Side is about the things that make people go mad or insane. War makes people go insane, surrounded by terror and death. This song is about war. |

| Pink Floyd – Welcome to the Machine Lyrics
| 19 years ago

|
This song is one big metaphor for life. The lyrics suggest that life is a machine. We're told what to do and what to like and dislike, and even what to dream. We’re told that the things we should desire most in life are money, wealth, and power. Welcome to the machine warns us about all the hardships we will encounter during life. This song is rather depressing because it takes the beauty out of life itself. Welcome to the machine suggests life is full of repetition and breakdowns. Life, like machines, don't run as smoothly as they could. Parts wear down and sometimes break. Ultimately, machines are destroyed because they are just too old and worn out. This is just what I think. I know that the whole album is about Syd and the music industry, but that’s the great thing about Pink Floyd. Their songs can be applied to anything. Definitely the greatest band ever. |
