| Pink Floyd – Careful with That Axe, Eugene Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
gillianjenkins, get some new friends. Some who DO like Pink Floyd. Roger Waters's mastery of the inward scream is amazing. a few of my friends and I can pull off this piercing scream for about a quarter of a second each. I have no idea how Waters kept the scream going for as long as he did. It must've hurt... ...A LOT! |

| Pink Floyd – The Trial Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
There must have been a door there in the wall When I came in And then at the very end of the album, you can hear him say "Isn't this where we came in?" Interesting |
|
| Pink Floyd – Dogs Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| It inspired "The Wall" because during the "In the Flesh" tour in promotion of "Animals", he spit on a fan. That was when he decided to write "The Wall" to save him from becoming the character Pink. | |
| Don Henley – The Boys of Summer Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back." Every time I hear that, I get all depressed because I always end up thinking back to this past summer, and I end up realizing that I'll probably never see half of the people I met ever again. |

| Pink Floyd – Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan One of the wars involving Israel And the war going on at the time that Waters hated the most, the Falkland Island War |
|
| Pink Floyd – The Dogs of War Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Or maybe he's saying that humans are the dogs of war. | |
| A Perfect Circle – Imagine Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Whenever I hear John Lennon's version of Imagine, I think to myself, "Maybe there is hope, maybe the world can be a perfect, peaceful place." However, when I heard this song, it seemed too depressing. Instead of "I hope one day you will join us" being inspirational, it almost felt like joining them would be committing suicide. I realize that's not what the cover's about at all, but it just seemed to turn this normally inspiring song into a sad song where all the hope you have just kind of withers away. And I didn't like that feeling. |

| Pink Floyd – Two Suns in the Sunset Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
like the moment when the brakes lock and you slide towards the big truck you stretch the frozen moments with your fear and you'll never hear their voices and you'll never see their faces you have no recourse to the law anymore Great image here. It describes the feeling that you'd probably have in either of the situations (the panic attack or nuclear holocaust). |
|
| Pink Floyd – The Dogs of War Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Kozmic, while it can be applied to Bush, it can also be applied to leaders of countries throughout history (eg. Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, et al.) In that regard it's timeless, there will always be war mongerers, and there will always be those who disagree with them (like David Gilmour). |
|
| Led Zeppelin – Bron-Yr-Aur Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song doesn't even need lyrics. Whenever I listen to it, I can imagine a montage of a guy in love during the summer. It's such a pretty song. | |
| Pink Floyd – The Thin Ice Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| yeah, there's the innocent, unknowing verse at the beginning, followed by the cynical, experienced words of wisdom at the end | |
| Pink Floyd – Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2 Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Kafziel, you mentioned that you don't know why this is important to the story in comparison with his father's death and wife's desertion. I think school has a huge impact on your life, I mean, you go there for 13 years of your life (if you don't drop out) anyplace where you spend that much time will affect you(both positively and negatively) | |
| Pink Floyd – Breathe (Reprise) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
this fits really well at the end of "Time" since it's basically somebody returning home after they realized that they've grown old wasting their time And this could quite possibly be the best part in Dark Side of Oz as Dorthy returns home and this plays. Wow. |
|
| Pink Floyd – Run Like Hell Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| DarkSideoftheWall, did you learn nothing from the album? When Pink goes completely insane, he suggests that all the people he disagrees with should be shot. This was not the opinion of the band. They were satirizing. I personally like the album, but everyone is entitled to his own opinion, and commecial success has no bearing on how good an album is. | |
| The Who – Happy Jack Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Happy Jack sounds like somebody who doesn't let things get him down to me. | |
| Pink Floyd – The Trial Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
He realizes that he built the wall, and he doesn't need it, but it was revealed to him by those who gave him reason to build it: his power-hungry schoolmaster, his cheating wife, and his control freak mother. Nice little twist of irony there, isn't it? |
|
| Pink Floyd – Outside the Wall Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Nevermind, it was "Isn't this where we came in?" | |
| Pink Floyd – Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 3 Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Yeah, and usually, the writing on the wall tends to be a warning of some sort. Not just in this song, but for a long time, like since biblical times. | |
| Pink Floyd – Waiting for the Worms Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Once his character Pink was firmly enclosed within the wall, he was naturally unreachable by everyone. And while he was there, he came to hate those who seren't similar to him, so keeping with the WWII theme, Waters decided to make him hate the victims of the holocaust. | |
| Pink Floyd – Eclipse Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Yes, an amazing song, to end an amazing album. Since one of the ideas behind the album was to see if everyday life could drive you insane, could it be that they're recapping everything in everyday life that could drive you mad? | |
| Pink Floyd – Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Which is kind of why he wrote "The Wall." Because to an extent, he had gone a bit mad, to the point that he got an overinflated opinion of himself while onstage and spat on a fan. At that point he probably realized that he had "joined Syd there" and wrote "The Wall." And yes, lyrically it does belong last. | |
| Pink Floyd – Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI - IX) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| In context with the lyrics, it should come last, but does anyone else think the actual order of the songs should be Wish You Were Here, Part II, then Part I? | |
| Pink Floyd – Money Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I'd say it's about the world's obsession with money, nobody wants to part with money, not even for charity. And the sax is a good instrument, in fact the best non-brass wind instrument. And the solo in the song, though moderately long, is very good. Have to give the sax its dues, three sax players got me hooked on Floyd. |

| Pink Floyd – Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I - V) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I see something a bit different, it was no doubt written in memory of Syd, but it can almost be seen as a call to make something of yourself, or do something worthwhile. First there's the line "Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr and shine." A stranger can reach a few people, a legendary person, those with whom he agrees, but a martyr can spread his/her message to friends and enemies alike. The line about the painter, piper and prisoner, the same analogy can be made. A painter's views can be seen by those looking for his work, a piper (musician) can spread his message to anyone within earshot. A prisoner's message can be heard or seen by anyone who keeps up with current events, even if those in charge don't want his message spread. This was probably me reading into it from some off angle, but if it is read that way, it can be a very powerful, inspirational piece. |

| Pink Floyd – Outside the Wall Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I think you're pretty close if not right on the meaning. But excuse me if I sound stupid, but at the end of this song, and at the beginning of In The Flesh?, something is spoken. What are they saying? | |
