The Wall
Eric Prydz vs. Pink Floyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands
The bleeding hearts and the artists
Make their stand
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall
Isn't this where
we all find ourselves at some point in life? Standing outside our walls, unsure of whether to venture out on our own or trust in the company of others. The line, "The ones who really love you, walk up and down outside the wall" suggests that those who truly care for us will patiently wait for us to open up and let them in.
The mention of "bleeding hearts and artists" implies that those who are the most vulnerable, creative and sensitive make the effort to break down the walls and bravely express their feelings. The next lines talk about the toll this takes on them, "And when they've given you their all, some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy, banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall". This could also be viewed as a social commentary on how society and its "mad" rules, regulations and expectations can act as walls that individuals must break down in order to be heard.
The song as a whole is a remix of Pink Floyd's original album, The Wall, and is a tribute to the groundbreaking band. It brings together two iconic cultural forces, electronic music and classic rock, and offers a new take on a beloved classic. The song has received critical acclaim for its innovative remixing of Pink Floyd's song, and its ability to introduce a new generation of listeners to the legendary band.
Line by Line Meaning
All alone, or in two's
Whether alone or in pairs, each person approaches the wall with their own set of emotions and experiences.
The ones who really love you
Those who genuinely care for you are the ones who try to break through the wall to reach you.
Walk up and down outside the wall
People persist in trying to connect with you, despite the emotional barrier you’ve erected between yourselves.
Some hand in hand
Some supporters are united in their efforts to reach you.
And some gathered together in bands
Some supporters have formed groups to try to overcome the wall between you and them.
The bleeding hearts and the artists
People who feel deeply, such as those with artistic sensibilities, are particularly keen to penetrate the wall that separates them from others.
Make their stand
They persist in trying to break through the barrier, despite the fact that it is a difficult task.
And when they've given you their all
When these supporters have exhausted all their resources in trying to reach you...
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
...some will stumble and lose momentum because the process of breaking down the wall is not a simple or easy one.
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall
Trying to break down an emotional barrier is like relentlessly hitting your heart against an unyielding ‘mad’ wall. The metaphorical interpretation of the wall highlights that it is ‘mad’, meaning it is not healthy or rational to create it in the first place.
Isn't this where
The song ends before this line, but it is likely the start of a question asking if it is worthwhile to maintain the emotional wall – or if it is time to tear it down and allow people in.
