Lyric discussion by zonker 

songs from the wall are almost impossible to decipher for many reasons. First of all, the story is loosely based around the lives of Syd Barret and to a lesser degree Roger Waters, but alot of the plot is just theatrics used for novelty. Second of all, no song can be taken out of context, the story is of a troubled, detached rock star caught up in the frenzy of the lifestyle, but if we only read the lyrics of just one song, it looks like he's making drugs out to be some kind of magical potion that can fix everything, while infact he is quite unsettled by the experience. Third of all, too many people just sit around smoking pot and watching the wall. not that the wall is bad, i myself have watched it a disgusting amount of times, but people think they "figured it out" when the movie is just showing roger waters visual interpretation of his song. music is a product, so listen to it and come up with your own ideas instead of simply regurgitating what happened in "The Wall"

i think your wrong there. the albums about what happens if you seal out other people from the result of your enviroment. the main character "pink" is the example, not a metaphor for their former lunatic frontman back in the early 60's and roger waters wrote the song as a wealthy brittish boy looking down at those less fortunate. this song is just the climax/ turning point for the character

Telling people to listen and produce their own meanings is brilliant. Listening to this song while on the same hallucinagen(spelled wrong purposely) as the songwriter was on while writing is quite a different experience. Its a song to get people back on their feet after a bad trip or just to simply escape from a bad trip. The "Aaaaaahhh" part really puts things into perspective for you.

I feel the same as singer6700: "Telling people to listen and produce their own meanings is brilliant." That is how I feel about real art; it doesn't produce one correct answer but gives the viewer a possibility to reflect and possible mature or question one or more magical sides of Life
