| Pink Floyd – Goodbye Blue Sky Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
To me the song is about an atomic war that never happened. The little girl says theres an aeroplane in the sky. Just one? Cant be the blitz but could be a lonely bomber unloading an atomic bomb on london or somewhere. The fact they have to run for shelter with the promise of a brave new world implies running to a fallout shelter and rebuilding a world shattered by nuclear attacks. Goodbye blue sky is obviously saying goodbye to the pre-nuclear world and its clean blue sky and hello to the scorched sky of post-nuclear world. The flames are all gone but the pain lingers on implies the radiation left by the fallout from the atomic bombs and its continuation to poison the post-nuclear survivors. thats what I reckon. |
