Another Brick In The Wall
P.u.l.s Lyrics

The lyrics to "Another Brick in the Wall" by P.u.l.s are a poignant commentary on the impact that absent fathers have on their children's lives. The opening lines, "Daddy's flown across the ocean, leaving just a memory, snapshot in the family album," suggest that the singer's father has left for good, leaving behind only a memory captured in a photograph. The repetition of the word "Daddy" underscores the singer's longing for their father and their unanswered questions about why he left.

The next lines, "Daddy, what else did you leave for me? Daddy, what'd'ja leave behind for me?" reveal the singer's frustration and anger with their father's abandonment. They are asking what their father has left behind for them, both materially and emotionally, and the implication is that he has left nothing. The final lines, "All in all it was just a brick in the wall, all in all it was all just bricks in the wall," suggest that the father's absence is just one of many bricks that make up the wall of the singer's life. The wall represents the barriers that have been put up between the singer and their father, as well as the wider societal structures that perpetuate absenteeism.
