Goodbye Blue Sky
Pink Floyd/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the
Promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue
Sky?
Ooh
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on
Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye
Goodbye
The eleven fifteen from Newcastle is now approaching
The eleven eighteen arrival
Goodbye Blue Sky by Pink Floyd is a hauntingly beautiful anti-war song that poetically tells the story of a child witnessing the horrors of war, as well as the lasting effects it leaves on those who experience it. The opening line, "Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky," serves as a stark contrast to the lines that follow, which describe the destruction and chaos that the child now sees. The repetition of the question, "Did you see the frightened ones? Did you hear the falling bombs?" emphasizes the fear and impact of war on both those directly involved and those who are bystanders.
The chorus, "Goodbye, blue sky," is a poignant farewell to the hopefulness and innocence that the clear blue sky represents. The line, "The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on," speaks to the long-lasting emotional trauma and scars that wars leave on people and communities.
The final lines about the train arriving in Newcastle suggest a return to normalcy but also a sense of indifference towards the trauma experienced. Overall, Goodbye Blue Sky is a thought-provoking, emotionally powerful song that explores the devastating effects of war on individuals and society as a whole.
