About how a guy can't have the crazy care free life he's accustomed to because he's in love and how he's willing to change his life style to get her, but it's really difficult for him. |

Well, you two aren't saying to much different. Star Captain is going into more of the details of the lyrics, while you are connecting it more with the album as a whole. The only real difference between your post and his is that he assumes a different character who was in the war with the gunner, and you assume that the other role is Roger himself. I would tend to agree with you, but in all fairness to sky captain, Water's does tend to write in a fashion that would make it seem as if he was in the war too. |

| Pink Floyd – Vera Lyrics

Well, I think your close, but Waters is (at least I think so) talking about how the promise is empty. Pink's father is portrayed to have been in a war. WWII we are led to guess since the Pink character is supposed to be a mix of Syd and Roger. They were both born toward the end of WWII, Pink perhaps a little earlier, and Water's father was killed in a WWII battle. I believe Pink's character's father died in WWII too, and Vera's promise seems empty and almost like a lie. "When will I meet my father again? When will my sunny day be here?"
I made an edit of the song along with bring the boys back home, if anyone feels like listening to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSSVOEZDL74 |
