In the first stanza I believe David creates a paradox betwen the two Rogers, Waters and Roger (Sid) Barrett. Sid being carefree and aloof and Roger being focused, egotistical.
"And did you see it was all going to be so right for me" again paradox speak. David taking Sids spot now taking Rogers spot as the bands leader.
The Golden Boy reference fits Sid in a pleasent way and Roger in a demeaning way. Loosing the light Sids (spark) and Rogers light (fight) for ownership.
Hey you... did you ever realise what you'd become (Sid drug addiict) (Roger Egomaniac) Neither realized it.
Final note. The carnival music? I'm sure we've all heard the term, "Media Circus" which I think this most private matter had become.
My thoughts... Please reply I'd love to know your thoughts on this and more. Matt
And did you see that it wasn't only me you were running from (Sid from Stardom) (Roger from the other group members)
Did you know all the time but it never bothered you anyway (Sid brain damaged) (Roger blind rage)
The rain fell slow, down on all the roofs of uncertainty (Outcome of the legal battle)
I thought of you and the years and all the sadness fell away from me (The legal battle was finally over David was happy that monitary issues would be rightly paid to those parties involved.
And did you know...
I never thought that you'd lose that light in your eyes
(Figured Roger would never give up the fight for the name Pink Floyd)
(Again reflecting back at Sid)
