Pink Floyd - Hey you ?

Question

I read a lot of comments about this powerful song saying that this song is about addiction and drugs. I have other idea: The Wall is the society , that imprisons us . And this message is sent to people that are getting nothing from their lives, standing in a supermarket picking up things, about how we should help each other "Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? " But the imposibility of doing something else, living wild and free . WHAT DO YOU THINK THE WALL REALLY IS.

Answer 1

lots of tunes have different meanings to people what you see in it is not necessarily what i see ...

Artist: Pink Floyd

Album: P.U.L.S.E

Title: Hey You

Hey you, out there in the cold

Getting lonely, getting old

Can you feel me?

Hey you, standing in the aisles

With itchy feet and fading smiles

Can you feel me?

Hey you, dont help them to bury the light

Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own

Sitting naked by the phone

Would you touch me?

Hey you, with you ear against the wall

Waiting for someone to call out

Would you touch me?

Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?

Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.

The wall was too high,

As you can see.

No matter how he tried,

He could not break free.

And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road

always doing what you're told,

Can you help me?

Hey you, out there beyond the wall,

Breaking bottles in the hall,

Can you help me?

Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all

Together we stand, divided we fall.
