I really like the lyics (the whole song for that matter) to "Coming Back to Life".



Note my sig as well.

In the womb, the baby thinks that it's the universe. And when the baby is born, there is a glimmer of light.
I was there, but now I am here. So there are two things - me and the universe. The universe is there for me.
Then what happens? Other people. But the universe is there for you. Now tell me what happened in the glade.
I did something to myself. Like entertainment, like music, like a daydream. There was nothing there and I saw something.
I saw his head on the bonnet of the car. You can say what you like but I saw the bird of paradise spread its wings.
DO YOU PLAY BRIDGE?

"Sorrow" and "Learning to Fly" can both read as poetry. They're brilliant stuff. I read a post on an old site by this guy who plaigarized the entire lyric to Learning To Fly. His english teacher thought he was a genious.

BDG sure got a nice horde of people to write lyrics.

"High Hopes" and "Wearing The Inside Out" aren't as good by themselves, but they describe their respective situations and emotions succintly.

I must agree with Fulghum, though. "Coming Back to Life" is brilliant. (part of this reasoning has to do with my personal life and my depressions) When I listen to that song, it truly makes me happy. It's great. May sound corny, but ah, I'm yet to go without making that kind of statement in...what is it? 12 now? :o

Eh, right. I managed to deviate from the subject. Go, me.

Speaking of Learning to Fly, what is that song about?

David Gilmour and Nick Mason were both actually "learning to fly" (aeroplanes) at that time (it's Nick's voice you hear speaking during the song) so the meaning is quite simple. Probably it's also symbolic for the band (and particularly Dave) "learning to fly" on his own, without Roger's drive. Or at least that's what I think.

Stop taking the piss.

That was directed at FloydianGP, not mad yannis.

On the Turning Away, Sorrow, and.....Signs of Life.
