So negative.. Fellas, this song is not about Hell. It's about LIFE. Roger Waters was the acidic, cynical side of PF (And Brilliant too), but Gilmour was the rhythm, the positive side, he's making it clear that this is your shot - don't miss it. He's agnostic, he doesn't believe in Heaven. He's respectful, but he doesn't believe there's a God who's going to save you. When you're in this life, you're in for good. Don't waste it thinking there's a 2nd Act. There isn't. It's actually a very positive, uplifting song - don't fear death. Just maximize the time you're here...
