Roger Waters called this song "a poignant appraisal of the contempary social situation"
Nitroguy pretty much got it right on, it represents the typical stresfull day and the release at the end of it. I think Roger was trying to say that we should all slow down a little and chill out before we all go insane and kill eachother.
consider another early floyd song with rather minimalist lyrics, "careful with that axe, eugene". could it be one of eugenes victims immortal last words as eugene utters "one of these days ..." as said victim is rendered into "little pieces"? just an observation.
what i like most about this song is that even without the blatantly over-the-top lyrics, the song still sounds incredibly violent and aggressive. it's rather neat how that can be done with a few instruments and a synthesizer. captivating mood.
Aside from "Echoes" and "In The Flesh?" this is my favorite Pink Floyd song. First time I heard this I wasn't sure if I was listening to a Pink Floyd song because of the dark vibe to it, and once the vocals kicked in I jumped up in my chair a bit, completely unexpected. Outstanding song.
I know it has nothing to do with the actual song meaning but it always reminds me of a chase scene. I feel like the best way to top off a perfect chase scene would be to play a perfectly put together mayhem of a song.
I love this song, it is amazing in so many ways. So complecated and yet so simple. I like the PULSE version more, I had to rip it off my own VHS. I don't know why they didn't put it on the cd.
Pink floyd is th ebest band ever! and they are deffinatly the best when u listen to them in bed at night cause u can think about the sing at the same time

yes, well arranged. It gave me the creeps as I first listenend it at night when I was lying in bed
Lying in bed at night is probably the best way to listen to Pink Floyd, as I enjoy doing with this album.
Anyway, I always thought it was "I'm going to turn you into a little beast", but this definitely seems more likely.
No Laying in bed baked as fuck or shroomin is the best way to listen to Pink Floyd
