Pink Floyd – Sorrow Lyrics 10 years ago
I use to think that this song was about the damage we are doing to our environment.
I have changed my way of thinking. These lyrics speak to me now like never before. I hear in these lyrics the sorrow and hopelessness of a man who had an opportunity for happiness, a light in his life, a bright and beautiful future but it slipped away from him because he could not break from his past commitments. Because of a strong sense of honer and duty he feels his one true chance is lost forever. He trods through life now questioning and regretting who he is. Knowing inside he will have to accept the pain and sorrow as his rather than cause that pain and sorrow for others.
I think songs like this can mean what you want or need them to mean.
