"Two Lost Souls Swimming in a Fish Bowl"?

Question

From Pink Floyd's song "Wish You Were Here" There's a line that says, "We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year. . .". Lets say you're one of those lost souls, whose the other lost soul in there swimming with you?

Answer 1

I think that other person is that one person in your life that you will always love,but for some reason just can't make it work. The reasons for this could be many,or we might not even know the reason ourselves. The rest of the song is about choices,or trading one thing for another. For whatever reason,we just can't make that commitment to the other person,and therefore we are lost,sometimes for a very long time. Swimming in circles.

Just my opinion.

Answer 2

Probably a husband I might have been married to for 40 years.

Answer 3

whomever you want it to be
