Another Brick In The Wall
Pink Floyd(平克 弗洛伊德) Lyrics

The song "Another Brick in The Wall" by Pink Floyd expresses the idea that society is a machine that crushes individualism and curiosity. The lyrics describe a father who has left his son behind and only left a memory in a photo album. The son, asking what his father has left for him, may be searching for his identity or a connection with his absent father. The idea of a father leaving behind a memory connects to the theme of abandoning individuality and being a part of a machine. The phrase "All in all it was just a brick in the wall" represents the idea that each person is just a small piece in a larger structure, powerless to resist the system.

The lyrics imply that education and societal norms are just part of the "machine" that we are born into. The song's chorus, "We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control," suggests that society is designed to indoctrinate people according to predefined norms and values. The phrase "All in all it was just a brick in the wall" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that individuals are just one small brick in a larger system, and that the collective experience of society largely shapes a person's identity.
