Call me crazy but I think he almost combined the lyrics to two different songs into one. I believe the first two verses are all about dealing with anyone's ego. Even his own. The third and forth verses are about letting someone fall and justifying it. Whether it be in regards to a lover or friend. Both seem compatiable to the lyrics.
It's tiring to hear that every song has some relation to Syd Barrett. If anyone has ever listened to anything involving him as a front man knows that he is very overrated. I think Gilmour kinda felt that way too. Roger's held the whole Syd affair alittle closer to his heart anyway.
