TICKING AWAY

TICKING AWAY
THE MOMENTS THAT MAKE UP THE DULL DAY
FRITTER AND WASTE THE HOURS
IN AN OFF-HAND WAY
DIGGING AROUND ON A PIECE OF GROUND IN YOUR HOMETOWN
WAITING FOR SOMEONE OR SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU THE WAYY

TIRED OF LYING IN THE SUNSHINE STAYING HOME TO WATCH THE RAIN YOU ARE YOUNG AND LIFE IS LONG AND THERE IS TIME TO KILL TODAY AND THEN ONE DAY YOU FIND TEN YEARS HAVE GOTTEN BEHIND YOU NOONE TOLD YOU WHEN TO RUN YOUVE MISSED THE STARTING GUN

brings tear to the eye

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

No one told you where to run,
You missed the starting gun.

This kills me every time.

every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

hanging on a quiet desperation is the english way
the time is gone the song is over thought id something more to saaaay

HOME, home again
I like to be here, when I can
When I come home, cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

>No one told you where to run,
Thing is, at least for a lot of you, someone did; but you decided not to. For example... every time your parents said you spent to much time playing video game? Yea, that was your starting gun.

>boiling down the needs and wants of people and the human condition to the crap your parents tell you when you're young

come on, now

cmon, this is a chill floyd thread, no fighting

My mom used to tell me not to sit hunched over on the computer chair.
If someone explained to me how important it is and showed me a way to developed social skills, I'd have a way better life right now.

GODDBYE CRUEL WORLD
I'M LEAVING YOU TODAY
GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE

GOODBYE, ALL YOU PEOPLE
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN SAY
TO MAKE ME CHANGE MY MIND
GOODBYE

HEY, YOU
OUT THERE IN THE COLD
GETTING LONELY, GETTING OLD
CAN YOU FEEL MEE?
HEY, YOU
STANDING IN THE AISLES
WITH ITCHY FEET AND FADING SMILES
CAN YOU FEEL MEE?
HEY YOU
DON'T HELP THEM TO BURY THE LIIIIIIIGHT
DON'T GIVE IN
WITHOUT A FIGHT
HEY, YOU!
OUT THERE ON YOUR OWN
SITTING NAKED BY THE PHONE
WOULD YOU TOUCH ME
HEY, YOU!
WITH YOUR EAR AGAINST THE WALL
WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CALL OUT
WOULD YOU TOUCH ME?

HEY, YOU!
WOULD YOU HELP ME TO CARRY THE STOOOOOONE?
OPEN YOUR HEART
I'M COMING HOME

[best solo ever]

CAN'T KEEP MY EYES FROM THE CIRCLING SKIES
TONGUE TIED AND TWISTED JUST AN EARTH BOUND MISFIT, I

WELCOME MY SON
WELCOME TO THE MACHINE

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
IT'S ALRIGHT WE KNOW WHERE YOU'VE BEEN

But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
Now matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain

HEY YOU
OUT THERE ON THE ROAD, ALWAYS DOIN WHAT YOU'RE TOLD
CAN YA HELP ME?

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
Beg, borrow, or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon
There is no dark side in the moon really
Matter of fact it's all dark

This song is great but I despise the last verse. The entire song is bleak and frought with desperation, but then they tac on this dumb last verse that implies some sort of afterlife. Also the instrumental devolves into some lame repetitive riff during the last verse. Perfect song otherwise.

Roger Waters is a hard atheist baka, pretty sure the last part is a critique of religion. I don't know where you're getting the "implies some sort of afterlife" part from, it's just talking about death/a funeral. I always thought it was about how since most of the song is about wasting time and realizing that too late in life, the ending is about death and how it's "too late" or something.
