Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy, what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, whatcha leave behind for me?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey teachers
Leave those kids alone
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey teachers
Leave those kids alone
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
I don't need no arms around me
I don't need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don't think I need anything at all
No, don't think I'll need anything at all
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall
Goodbye cruel world
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye
These lyrics from Celtic Pink Floyd's song "Another Brick in the Wall" speak to themes of abandonment, rebellion, and seeking individuality within a system. The song begins with the singer reflecting on their absent father, who has left a mere memory and a snapshot in the family album. They question what else their father has left behind for them, suggesting a sense of emotional absence and longing. This absence is likened to a brick in the wall, a small yet significant component that adds to the overall barrier or obstacle the singer must face.
The lyrics then transition to a declaration of the singer's disregard for education and thought control. They reject the notion of conformity and criticize the use of dark sarcasm in the classroom. The plea for teachers to leave the children alone suggests a desire for personal freedom and autonomy. The repetition of the phrase "All in all, it's just another brick in the wall" emphasizes the belief that the individual is being reduced to a mere fragment within a larger system, where their unique identity is disregarded.
The song takes a turn as the singer asserts that they don't need external support such as physical affection or drugs to find peace. They claim to have seen the writing on the wall, indicating an awareness of the world's harsh realities. In the final verse, the singer bids farewell to the world and the people in it, declaring that nothing can change their decision to depart. This final act of rebellion reaffirms their rejection of the constraints and limitations imposed by society.
Overall, "Another Brick in the Wall" serves as a powerful anthem of individualism, rebellion against authority, and the longing for personal freedom.
