hey you
Pink Floyd - Doholchi.com Lyrics

Hey you, out there in the cold
Addressing someone who is experiencing loneliness and isolation

Getting lonely, getting old
Talking about the hardships one experiences when they're secluded for a long period of time and how it tends to worsen with aging.

Can you feel me?
Asking if they can sense a connection even in amidst their solitary lifestyle.

Hey you, standing in the aisles
-addressing someone who is apprehensive and stuck between courses of action

With itchy feet and fading smiles
Talking about how they're becoming restless and apprehensive with fading hope.

Can you feel me?
Asking the person if they can relate.

Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Encouraging the person not to give up on their optimism and let it get suppressed.

Don't give in without a fight
Never give up and don't let your worries consume you in the face of hardships

Hey you out there on your own
Addressing someone experiencing circumstances of loneliness.

Sitting naked by the phone
Sitting vulnerable and open to any connection or breakthrough that can come through to them.

Would you touch me?
Asking for empathy and spiritual connection.

Hey you with you ear against the wall
Addressing someone who is curious/excitedly anticipating connection.

Waiting for someone to call out
To no avail they eagerly await somebody else to break the ice.

Would you touch me?
Looking for an emotional breakthrough with said person

Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Requesting help with coping with something difficult

Open your heart, I'm coming home
Asking for the person to be more welcoming of the artist, a long-awaited arrival.

But it was only fantasy
Accepting the fact that perception and the physical reality might not be the same.

The wall was too high
Refers to the hardships and challenges that come with communication.

As you can see
As evidenced by the circumstance

No matter how he tried
Despite inexhaustible efforts

He could not break free
The artist could not find the break-through they were looking for.

And the worms ate into his brain
Obsessive thoughts/concerns consumed the person's mind.

Hey you, out there on the road
Recognizing people who are preoccupied with societal expectations and expectations that come with it.

Always doing what you're told
Striving to fit into the societal mold even when it means losing a sense of self.

Can you help me?
Asking for help breaking out of the societal mold.

Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Addressing those on the outskirts of the society or those that reject the societal norms outright.

Breaking bottles in the hall
Unsatisfied with complying to the norms, they rebel against it

Can you help me?
Seeking help from a fellow outcast.

Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
A plea to discourage negative thoughts and a call-to-action to remain positive.

Together we stand, divided we fall
A plea to band together to take down societal norms and triumph over adversity.
