I often listen to lyric content and try to parse it; I haven't done that with this. The first part sounds a little overwrought, probably written about the Berlin wall, maybe about the juggernaut Pink Floyd had become after recording "The Wall," whatever.
But the guitar solo at the end is indescribably beautiful. This, after "Marooned," feels to my ears like, imagine it's evening in the summer and a storm is brewing on the horizon. The breeze is wafting through the trees and the climate feels fantastic, despite the coming rain. The music to these two tracks does to the ears what that type of sensation does to the body.
