Another Brick In The Wall
Eric Prydz vs. Pink Floyd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy, what else did you leave for me?
Dad, what you 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




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eric Prydz vs. Pink Floyd's song Another Brick in the Wall are a poignant reflection on abandonment and loss. The opening lines, "Daddy's flown across the ocean, leaving just a memory," suggest that the singer's father has left them physically, perhaps in pursuit of work or other personal goals. The second line, "A snapshot in the family album," highlights the emotional impact of this absence - the father is reduced to a frozen image in a collection of memories. The following plea, "Daddy, what else did you leave for me?" suggests the singer's resentment at this diminished role in their father's life.


The repetition of the line "All in all it was just a brick in the wall" reinforces the idea that the singer's father is just one small part of a larger pattern of neglect and isolation. The wall referred to here could represent a number of things - perhaps a social or economic system that separates families, or simply the emotional distance between people. Ultimately, the final line, "All in all it was all just bricks in the wall," implies a sense of futility or resignation - the idea that this cycle of loss and separation is inevitable and eternal.
