In my opinion;
This song is about a man suffering depression due to severe loss who is about to commit suicide via means of drowning himself.

'flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
of grim intimation of what is to be'
'flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
of grim intimation of what is to be'
Think that line pretty much sums it up.
And I will add that this is one of my greatest songs of all time and have listened to it a thousand times since getting Delicate Sound of Thunder at the age of 5 (and I'm now 27). It is one of Gilmour's best lyrically and musically - and anyone who says that Gilmour can't write lyrics just as meaningful/powerful as Roger Waters does not know what they are talking about :-)
thankyou superslug1000, im sick of seeing quotes like "Roger's wrote this song, gilmour couldnt write words this deep" gilmour writes the best music and lyrics for the style of pink floyd that i like, and his voice is perfect for the lyrics that HE writes, thanks

The lyrics are good but they are a little verbose and there's something a bit stiff about them. I'm certain Gilmour didn't write them on his own. By his own admission he struggles to come up with lyrics and had a team of writers helping him on Momentary Lapse.
