Hmm, that's not a bad consept per se, but not what Pink Floyd and Roger Waters inteneded. After the famous incident during a concert when Waters spat on a fan (who I think got up on the stage during a song), he felt that he had buildt a wall between himself and the audience.
There's more to it, but that's the very rough meaning.
