Division Bell comments/things/stuff ?

I don't know how specialized this post is, in fact it's rather vague. My friend/neighbor is a sort of Floyd fan, so after I told him I procured all the albums, he recommended The Division Bell, specifically the last track (high hopes). So I gots to listenin' to it, and it really is quite the album. Top on my list of not so popular floyd albums, popular being The Wall, Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of The Moon, etc. However, after listening to most of the tracks, and taking a peek at the lyrics (i felt bad) i came to the [profound] conclusion that none of the tracks actually GO anywhere. Basically, there just a string of randomly inserted, cool quotes that don't REALLy make sense in the context of the entire song.

"Steps taken forward but sleepwalking back again."

"The ringing of the division bell had begun."

For the sake of all goodness, I'm not going to post a song (as this post is getting quite long- i don't believe in abbreviating). But if anyone really wants to comment on this or share opinions, go ahead. I really like the Division Bell musically, not quite lyrically tho.
