Cover art for The Narrow Way, Pt. 3 lyrics by Pink Floyd

The Narrow Way, Pt. 3 tells us about death, and its slow way to it. 'The night is beckoning' can be understood by the death itself or the darkness that death brings. A fact that I'd like to share is that the night can mean something else: the sundown syndrome. This is a certain time of the day that, mostly the elders, with a condition that is consuming them down, are scaremongering. When the day starts getting dark, is the time when this come through. Thoughts like 'the death is coming', 'I do not want to be living anymore', et cetera, slips in their minds. It's interesting, and I think we can use this in the song. 'Before you, the night is beckoning, and you know you can't delay' - the inevitability of dying. Although, this song is stunning, I wish the final part was longer though. I love the drums in that outro.
