hey you
Pink Floyd [www.0111Music5.com] Lyrics

Hey you, out there in the cold
Addressing a person who feels isolated and alone.

Getting lonely, getting old
Expressing how lonely and disconnected one can feel as they age.

Can you feel me?
Asking the listener if they can relate to this feeling of isolation and loneliness.

Hey you, standing in the aisles
Addressing someone who is still trying to find their place in the world.

With itchy feet and fading smiles
Describing how one can become restless and unhappy in a stagnant situation.

Can you feel me?
Asking the listener if they are also experiencing this restlessness and dissatisfaction.

Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Encouraging the listener to stand up against those who try to suppress or extinguish the good in the world.

Don't give in without a fight
Urging the listener to resist and persist, even when things seem bleak.

Hey you out there on your own
Directing attention to someone who is feeling disconnected and isolated.

Sitting naked by the phone
Painting a vivid image of someone eagerly waiting for a connection, but ultimately feeling exposed and vulnerable without it.

Would you touch me?
Asking someone to provide emotional support and connection.

Hey you with you ear against the wall
Addressing someone who is eavesdropping or listening intently for some kind of connection or validation from the outside world.

Waiting for someone to call out
Describing the anxious anticipation of finally receiving some kind of connection or communication from someone else.

Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Appealing to the listener for mutual support in whatever struggles they are facing.

Open your heart, I'm coming home
Asking the listener to be vulnerable and welcoming as the singer seeks comfort and connection.

But it was only fantasy
Acknowledging that sometimes our desires for connection and support are merely fantasies or unfulfilled wishes.

The wall was too high
Describing a barrier or obstacle that prevents the artist from getting what they desire.

As you can see
Emphasizing the reality of the situation, which may be disappointing or frustrating.

No matter how he tried
Showing that the singer has made efforts to overcome the obstacle, but without success.

He could not break free
Summarizing how the perceived wall continues to prevent the artist from achieving their goal.

And the worms ate into his brain
Using a metaphor to show how the artist's despair and frustration are gnawing away at them from the inside, leading to despair and hopelessness.

Hey you, out there on the road
Addressing someone who is following the expected path or conforming to societal norms or expectations.

Always doing what you're told
Describing how following the rules and doing what's expected can lead to feeling unfulfilled or disconnected.

Can you help me?
Asking for support and understanding from someone who may be feeling similarly.

Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Addressing someone who has broken free from the expected path or societal norms, but may still feel disconnected from others.

Breaking bottles in the hall
Describing how someone's rebellious or unconventional behavior may actually be a cry for help or attention.

Can you help me?
Asking for support and understanding from those who may have also broken free from societal norms, but may still feel disconnected and alone.

Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Urging the listener to remain optimistic and determined, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles and disconnection.

Together we stand, divided we fall
Encouraging a sense of unity and mutual support, recognizing that we are all vulnerable and flawed, but can achieve more by working together and empathizing with each other.
