hmm. i've had friends take morning glory and precede to puke all over my apartment. maybe if i'd fed them a hardy breakfast first that wouldn't have happened. plus you should shave off the outside of the seeds, that's the worst part. |

| Pink Floyd – A New Machine (Part 2) Lyrics

i think pt. 2 is the response to the first one. the first says "i have always been here" and seems to look forward to the end, and the second says "i will always be here" but only for a lifetime. it's like an eternal return, one lifetime that exists/repeats throughout eternity, a snake eating its tail....well i'm running away with it, but the two kinda fit together like a frustrating little puzzle that doesn't quite solve itself. |

| Pink Floyd – Yet Another Movie Lyrics
| 18 years ago

sure, it could sound like the gunslinger, because it describes elements that could relate to so many epic journey stories. so many westerns, ending with someone riding off into the sunset. the end. it is called "yet another movie," after all. MetalKing, very creative, but the verse with people, eyes upraised, are theatergoers. and they aren't babbling. the line is "the babbling that i brook" which refers to the babbling of the characters on the screen. brook means to suffer through, he's enduring this babble on the screen and these vacant faces taking it in. this song seems especially bitter coming after "on the turning away" since that's about people not paying attention to the real misery in the world. yet we spend so much time wrapped up in the dramas of the silver screen (not to mention celebrity drama). |

| Pink Floyd – Learning to Fly Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
so obviously the literal meaning of "learning to fly" is learning to fly a plane. you can say it could be about a woman or drugs (you'd be wrong) but what all those literal meanings point to is a desire to experience something sublime.
"a soul in tension" is at the crux of the song. (it's not sole intention, that doesn't even make much sense as a sentence). it's a sort of mind/body duality thing. our soul yearns for the skies but our body is limited by its physicality (condition grounded/earthbound misfit). and yeah, gilmour and the plane are one and the same. somehow several tons of metal can take flight, at least for a time. and so can man experience enlightenment/satori, but inevitably gets pulled back to earth.
if the morning light never came to wake the dreamer, the soul could "blow right through the roof of the night," which i would say is what death is. "suspended animation" is not a drug reference, but refers to a near death state where the body is not functioning but is still alive. in this case it refers to a state where the mind can temporarily feel free from the body. like astral projection. being on another plane...in a plane.... |
