Pink Floyd Hey You Lyrics & Description

Description

Pink Floyd Hey You is from the album, "The Wall". It takes its meaning from the Berlin Wall along with that of a burned out rock star.

'Hey You' is about the character 'Pink' who has cut himself out of the real world and his life is ruined and crumbled. He is now mentally lonely and isolated with his own problems . He wants help but doesn't ask for it so nobody knows about his state or can help him because he is blocked by his mental wall of world isolation.

Pink Floyd Hey You Lyrics

Hey you ! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me
Hey you ! Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
Hey you ! don't help them to bury the light
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 stone
Open your heart, I'm coming home

Guitar SOLO

But it was only a fantasy
The wall was too high as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you ! out there on the road
Doing what you're told, can you help me
Hey you ! out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
Hey you ! don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.
