@[snifferdog:52292] see my comment, but I guess this line means that Syd saw his mom 'blam'e and point fingers to accuse people of the death of his dad but the truth is that she might have killed him... as a matter of fact it's been reported in one of the documentaries I saw that Syd would literaly say "fuck off Mom" without her complaining or replying. This seems to show the terrible guilt under which this poor woman must have been |

I don't understand that no one understood that obviously this song is about Syd's own mom and one of his sisters. Syd's dad had died just before he was 16 years old and this must have had a devastating impact on him as this came very suddenly. Syd then left his, now quite old, mom and his younger sister Rosemary alone, for London, (although Rosemary went to study nursing in London some time after); his older siblings had already left the house. Now, the most speculative part and yet, terribly attractive, is that during his infamous weekend breakdown, after which this song was written, he realised, or started to be convinced that his mom killed his dad. This would not only explain the song, but indeed the entire meltdown that ensued and the very deep depresssion Syd went into, to the point where he imagined killing his mom shouting "Scream Thy Last Scream" |
