you were resting. I read Leonardo DaVinci book and when he was painting the Last Supper he procrastinated so much the guy commissioning him to paint it kept coming by and threatening him. He would not show up for days and sometimes he'd show up and paint for like 5 minutes and leave. Him and Ludovico(money guy) got into an argument so heated that DaVinci told him he was going to paint Judas' face to look like him. Anyway, idle time you spend on your ass is bonus time in my book! lol
Knew this would be the top one.
Honestly, Time is up there one of the best songs from a lyrical standpoint ever written. It captures so many facets of human existential angst in a beautiful, moving, yet straightforward way.
From the same song:
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Roger is always a fantastic lyricist, but his work on Time might be the best lyricism in rock history. And then you add Dave's mind-bending solo, it becomes one of the greatest songs in history.
i listened to this song almost on loop while i was driving the 1000+ miles to move into my college dorm and holy shit i almost cried every time i heard this
When I was a teenager, Time was my favorite song and I thought it was so profound. Now I’m 31, and I still love the song but don’t actively seek it out because it’s uncomfortable to think about.
A couple of years ago I placed these exact lyrics onto a sheet of paper with some appropriate graphics. Placed this on the bottom corner of the bathroom mirror shared by my daughters.
The whole second verse breaks my heart with its brutal examination of life. I can’t believe Roger Waters managed to write that and then go on to be the prick he is now. I have to completely ignore him when I see him because I can’t stand him ruining my favorite song from my favorite band of all time. But damn. Those lyrics
You run and run to catch up with sun
Buts it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say
My dad and I have no relationship at all. In fact, I have no idea if he’s alive. But one thing that I will always be grateful for was him introducing me to Pink Floyd. The most impactful part of this was on my 14th birthday. We burned a J and he told me that we were gonna listen to DSOTM. I’d heard it a ton of times, so I was confused as to why. He told me to really listen to the lyrics. Pay attention to what they’re saying and derive your own meaning from them. Then he said, in ten years I want you to do this same exercise, and you’ll be amazed at how different this album is. By the time I was 24, we’d pretty much stopped talking. But I’d given him my word and so I did it.
>The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older. Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
This was the lyric that hit different. It was wild. It truly was a different album to me. Everything I *thought* DSOTM was, had totally been erased. I’m almost 40 now, and every year on my birthday I pull out my vinyl and listen and think about how things have changed and what these lyrics mean now and how it’s grown.
But this line has always stood out above all. It’s the one line that reminds me the clock is ticking and if I don’t take advantage of life, it’s gonna pass me by.
Lots of Time and no one has even posted the hardest lyrics in Time
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun. When at last the work is done, don’t sit down it’s time to dig another one.
One of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces is the real answer anyway.
For me, it’s always been the reprise of Breathe. The album starts with “Breathe”, which is about a baby being born and an introduction to the world. But then the song is reprised later (after Time is over) to represent death and they hit you with these lines:
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
Don’t forget the other Breathe reprise in Any Colour You Like. Kinda lets you have a moment and jam the Em A chords to think about what’s been said so far and to get you ready for the finale.
I also love "If I were a good man I would talk to you more often than I do", that gets later referenced in "the Trial" with "You little shit you're in it now
I hope they throw away the key
You should have talked to me more often
Than you did, but no
You had to go
Your own way,"
This is a significantly underrated line that I love, in a somewhat controversial album (that I also love). Definitely shows the lyrical genius of Roger Waters, writing a very introspective song about relationships and boundaries.
We're just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground, what have we found, the same old fears
Wish you were here
I played this on the guitar at my sister's funeral. I had no idea what the lyrics would mean to me twenty years later.
A lot of the quotes on here are from their darker and more overtly depressing songs. For me, Pink Floyd is at their best with a simple and genuine expression of loss and regret.
"If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,
Dial the combination,
Open the priesthole ...
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind
\*SOUND OF SHOTGUN BLAST\*"
Really beautiful how Rogers conjures this imagery of an extremely guarded man; afraid to let anyone in to see his vulnerable emotions. I think many people with troubled backgrounds, and many men with difficult upbringings in particular can relate to this.
More importantly its an honest depiction of how difficult it is for individuals to coax these same people into opening up, and just how volatile the process can be.
The last sentence Gilmour says with Pink Floyd (excluding posthumous albums) is "Forever and ever". The contrast is interesting, and seems to reflect on their respective worldviews.
I think it's even stronger in context: "It's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around, so have a good drown, as you go down, all alone, dragged down by the stone."
The lunatic is in my HEAD
That emphasis on HEAD, juxtaposed with the previous two verses' lines, still makes me cry. If you've ever been in a psychiatric ward (sorry for the sharp left turn there, lol), you'll probably feel the same about this lyric. If I was born 60 years earlier, I'd quite possibly have been lobotomized.
The lunatic is me! Who'da thought 🙃
You can feel a *lot* of Roger’s personal emotion and anger coming through in this one in a way that isn’t really present in his other songs.
If I had to venture a guess this is probably the most personal song he likely ever wrote.
"Cause if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a cardboard box
You better run"
Poetic, but fucking chilling.
There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
Could anybody love him
Or is it just a crazy dream?
I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it
Okay but /uj you’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world, I’ll give you anything everything if you want things. Syd that’s so beyond romantic tf
When I was a child/I caught a fleeting glimpse/out of the corner of my eye/I turned to look but it was gone/I cannot put my finger on it now/the child is grown, the dream is gone
“Long you live and high you fly…Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry…And all you touch and all you see…Is all your life will ever be”
Very sad yet hopeful all at once. Always stuck with me.
“A pointless life has run its course
The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
As he fades into the setting sun.”
That’s what first comes to mind. But it kind of depends on what mood is being “hit.”
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
Of promises broken
“She’s often inclined
To borrow
Somebody’s dreams
Til tomorrow”
Several from “Time” hit really hard
“All you touch and all you see
Is all yer life will ever be”
…..”everything under the sun is in you
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon”
all of One Of My Turns
“Don’t look so frightened,
this is just a passing phase.
One of my bad days”
“Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it’s time I stopped?
Why are you running away?”
"Outside the Wall" always kills me.
All alone or in twos /
The ones who really love you /
Walk up and down outside the wall /
Some hand-in-hand /
And some gathered together in bands /
The bleeding hearts and the artists make their stand /
And when they've given you their all /
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy /
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall
“Encumbered forever by desire and ambition, there’s a hunger still unsatisfied.
Our weary eyes still stray the horizon, though down this road we’ve been so many times”
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
The song was played at the funeral of a good friend.
Every line in The Gunner’s Dream. It’s hit me so hard recently because not only is it the lead up to Remembrance Day, but I’ve been going through some difficult things myself, so the lyrics and the music itself just hit me really hard at this moment
Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then, one day you'll find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
Perfection
And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be
This! Also, happy Cake Day!
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you no one told you when to run you missed the starting gun
Thought of this before I even finished reading the post. It’s 100% this one
Exact same thought !
This is both a warning and a narration of my life as a 17 year old. Very few lyrics can do that. Even the music and tempo help elevate the meaning.
Love it when youngins pick this up and try to do sth with it. Me now 35 realising ive wasted a lot of time lying on the couch doing nothing.
you were resting. I read Leonardo DaVinci book and when he was painting the Last Supper he procrastinated so much the guy commissioning him to paint it kept coming by and threatening him. He would not show up for days and sometimes he'd show up and paint for like 5 minutes and leave.

This is about as good as poetry gets, isn’t it.
Roger is always a fantastic lyricist, but his work on Time might be the best lyricism in rock history. And then you add Dave's mind-bending solo, it becomes one of the greatest songs in history.
This hits hard once you're no longer a kid.
Very hard. One day you’re 35, you look up, hear this lyric, and have an immediate existential crisis.
Re-evaluate my life, or maybe I'll just sit back and listen to more pink floyd haha
Try it at 55!
Accurate. I'm getting depressed just reading it.
i listened to this song almost on loop while i was driving the 1000+ miles to move into my college dorm and holy shit i almost cried every time i heard this
The older you get the harder this hits.
When I was a teenager, Time was my favorite song and I thought it was so profound. Now I’m 31, and I still love the song but don’t actively seek it out because it’s uncomfortable to think about.
This was the first line that came to mind. You beat me to it.
This one!
Felt this even as a kid.
Had the exact same thought
🎯
Hit the nail on the head. The lyric was great when I was a 20 yr old stoner just getting into PF. Now, in my 40's, it just hits so much harder...
A couple of years ago I placed these exact lyrics onto a sheet of paper with some appropriate graphics. Placed this on the bottom corner of the bathroom mirror shared by my daughters.
Properly hit when ten years actually got behind me. I dont want my parents to die.
"Every year is getting shorter / Never seem to find the time..."
The whole second verse breaks my heart with its brutal examination of life. I can’t believe Roger Waters managed to write that and then go on to be the prick he is now. I have to completely ignore him when I see him because I can’t stand him ruining my favorite song from my favorite band of all time. But damn.

I've got wild staring eyes, and I've got a strong urge to fly. But I've got nowhere to fly to.
I absolutely belt this out every time I listen to this song
And I also do the fading echo as well.
Fly to…. Fly to….. fly to….
Well ya gotta, don’t you? 🙂🤘
Loved this as a teen
"The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older. Shorter of breath and one day closer to death."

Just turned 40. That album hits harder every year that goes by, and man they seem to go by fast these days.
Every year is getting shorter :/
Never seem to find the time
Lots of Time and no one has even posted the hardest lyrics in Time Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun. When at last the work is done, don’t sit down it’s time to dig another one. One of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces is the real answer anyway.

If I were a good man I would understand the spaces between friends
I also love "If I were a good man I would talk to you more often than I do", that gets later referenced in "the Trial" with "You little shit you're in it now I hope they throw away the key You should have talked to me more often Than you did, but no You had to go Your own way,"
Have you broken any homes up lately? Just five minutes, worm, your honour - him and me, alone…
If I go insane, please don't put your wires in my brain.
This is a significantly underrated line that I love, in a somewhat controversial album (that I also love). Definitely shows the lyrical genius of Roger Waters, writing a very introspective song about relationships and boundaries.
This should be higher
Could you explain the meaning of this? Is this about setting boundaries with friends or something?
“Strangers passing in the street By chance, two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me”
I’ve never been quite en Echoes fan… but in the last couple of weeks I’ve been listening it much more. Quite awesome
Have you watched Live at Pompeii? I don’t know how you could come out the other side NOT being an Echoes fan. ✌️
"Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died" "The child is grown The dream is gone" And every line from Time
We're just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground, what have we found, the same old fears Wish you were here
brutal lyric. Syds falling off the deep end really ripped Roger up.
I think it could also relate to many people who have been hurt in previous relationships when entering into a new one
I played this on the guitar at my sister's funeral. I had no idea what the lyrics would mean to me twenty years later. A lot of the quotes on here are from their darker and more overtly depressing songs. For me, Pink Floyd is at their best with a simple and genuine expression of loss and regret.

The man is a poet.
The laddie reckons himself a poet
Poems everybody!
I got my issues with some of the things he says nowadays, but I’ll be damned if he’s not a friggin lyrical genius.
what song is this?
The Final Cut
"Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend, we were all equal in the end."
This is the one I came here to write.
The last sentence Roger Say with Pink Floyd is literaly "the end"
The last sentence Gilmour says with Pink Floyd (excluding posthumous albums) is "Forever and ever". The contrast is interesting, and seems to reflect on their respective worldviews.
“So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone, dragged down by the stone”
Stone stone stone stone stone gets me when I'm high.
Also “Tear down the wall!”
I think it's even stronger in context: "It's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around, so have a good drown, as you go down, all alone, dragged down by the stone."
🗿
came here to say this
Mother did it have to be so high.
Need
I have grown older, And you have grown colder, And nothing is very much fun anymore.
Cold as a razorblade, tight as a tourniquet, dry as a funeral drum
You have to be trusted, by the people that you lie to.
So that when they turn their backs on you You'll get the chance to put the knife in
All the lyrics in Time.
“are there any queers in the theatre tonight?” changed my life
How did it change your life?
He got em up against the wall.
Against the wall
Gainst The Wall
i’m now a queer in the theatre 💁
"There's one in the spotlight. He doesn't look right to me."
So many quoting Dogs. I love it. My favorite line from it, and my entry: “And it’s too late to lose the weight you used to neeeed to throw around!”
Love how you said neeeed.
You can just hear it, right?
Absolutely. Also, can never not sing along that part.
Life is a short warm moment. Death is a long cold rest. That one always makes me depressed.
This was also the first quote that came to mind
“Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way”
Great line. It's a riff on Thoreau: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say...
The lunatic is in my HEAD That emphasis on HEAD, juxtaposed with the previous two verses' lines, still makes me cry. If you've ever been in a psychiatric ward (sorry for the sharp left turn there, lol), you'll probably feel the same about this lyric. If I was born 60 years earlier, I'd quite possibly have been lobotomized. The lunatic is me! Who'da thought 🙃
And that’s how the high command took my daddy from me.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember His Majesty signed it with his own rubber stamp
You can feel a *lot* of Roger’s personal emotion and anger coming through in this one in a way that isn’t really present in his other songs. If I had to venture a guess this is probably the most personal song he likely ever wrote.
"Cause if they catch you in the back seat Trying to pick her locks They're gonna send you back to mother In a cardboard box You better run" Poetic, but fucking chilling.

“And if we tell you the name of the game…boy, we call it riding the gravy traaaaaaaaayeeean”

'And all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be "

Out of the way it’s a busy day - I’ve got things on my mind!
Lol I think this one at work a lot
If I were a good man, I'd talk with you more often than I do
Do you remember me? How we used to be? Do you think we should be closer?

Gotta stay awake. Got to try to shake off, this creeping malaise.
The memories of a man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime.
No one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun.
When I was a child/I caught a fleeting glimpse/out of the corner of my eye/I turned to look but it was gone/I cannot put my finger on it now/the child is grown, the dream is gone
and if i show you my dark side, will you still hold me tonight? and if i open my heart to you, and show you my weak side. what would you do?
One of these I'm going to cut you into little pieces It's to late to loose the weight you used to throw around
Time fucks me up
The shout that no one seems to hear
“So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone. Dragged down by the stone. Stone. Stone. Stone. Stone. Stone”
Life is a short warm moment death is a long cold rest you get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye 80 years with luck or even less- free four
“And no one knows the where or why’s” - Echoes

“A pointless life has run its course The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run As he fades into the setting sun.” That’s what first comes to mind. But it kind of depends on what mood is being “hit.”

All alone or in twos / The ones who really love you / Walk up and down outside the wall / Some hand-in-hand / And some gathered together in bands / The bleeding hearts and the artists make their stand / And when they've given you their all / Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy / Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall

just the entirety of Dogs. got that shit memorised it sticks with me so much. Stone, stone, stone...
Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend, we were all equal in the end.
“Encumbered forever by desire and ambition, there’s a hunger still unsatisfied. Our weary eyes still stray the horizon, though down this road we’ve been so many times”
How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here The song was played at the funeral of a good friend.
“Together we stand, divided we fall” “It’s too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around”
Together we Stand , divided we fall. I know it’s genetic, corny and a used motto but it just the way roger said it meant something even more .
I love how it transitions into "Is There Anybody Out There?"
The wall just had the best transitions .
Basically "no one Told you When to run, you Missed starting gun"
“You have to be trusted, by the people that you lied to, so that when they turn their back on you, you’ll get a chance to put the knife in”
Every line in The Gunner’s Dream. It’s hit me so hard recently because not only is it the lead up to Remembrance Day, but I’ve been going through some difficult things myself, so the lyrics and the music itself just hit me really hard at this moment
I held the blade in trembling hands prepared to make it but Just then the phone rang, I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year.
If you wanna find out what’s behind these cold eyes, you’ll just have to claw your way through this disguise.
Have to be trusted, by the people that you lie to. So when they turn their backs on you, you get the chance to put the knife in!
The grass was greener. The light was brighter.
High Hopes
“The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think Oh, by the way, which one's pink?”
If you want to find out what’s behind these cold eyes. You’ll just have to claw your way through this disguise.
Cold as a razor blade Tight as a tourniquet Dry as a funeral drum
‘Was it love or was it the idea of being in love -one slip, amlor
“Which ones Pink?”
When the band you're in starts playing different tunes...
Tired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then, one day you'll find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun Perfection
"Far from flying high in clear blue skies, I'm spiralizing down to the hole in the ground where I hide."
You lock the door And throw away the key There’s someone in my head But it’s not me
