Pigs
(Waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I didn't care for you
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing
Waters's song "Pigs On The Wing" is a commentary on the relationship between two people who understand and accept each other's flaws. The lyrics "If you didn't care what happened to me, and I didn't care for you" suggest a mutual understanding that their relationship is not based on the superficial ideas of love and attraction, but rather on genuine empathy and compassion. They don't seek perfection in each other, but rather cherish each other's imperfections and support each other through difficult times.
The lyrics also reflect the idea that life can sometimes be monotonous and painful, but with someone who understands and cares, it becomes bearable. The line "Zig zag our way through the boredom and pain" suggests that life isn't always a straight path, and that they will face ups and downs together. The phrase "Watching for pigs on the wing" may seem cryptic, but it's a metaphor that suggests both the unpredictability of life and the need to be vigilant against danger. Overall, the song's message is about finding comfort and meaning in unexpected places and relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
If you didn't care what happened to me
If you had no interest or concern about my well-being
And I didn't care for you
And if I reciprocated that sentiment and did not care for you either
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
We would navigate our way aimlessly and somewhat erratic through the mundanity and suffering of life
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Occasionally looking up in gloomy and miserable weather
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
Wondering and speculating about who or what is responsible for causing the difficulties and hardships in our lives
And watching for pigs on the wing
And keeping an eye out for unexpected and unusual events or circumstances that could have a significant impact on our lives

Hey! can you see the guy with glasses (right) in the minute 1:15 ? Well, that's me... I remember waiting 14 hours that day to see Roger, I didn't eat, I didn't pee and I was dehydrating ... And yet, that was the best night of my life.

Dude, you were rocking full of emotions! I envy you. I wish Roger would come to the Philippines too.
