High Hopes | Reviewer: oldschool | 8/15/08 I read all the posts here, and I was a little surprised that I had a completely different take on the lyrics than anyone else. This song is about a lot of things, like youth, desire, hope, life, regret and the human condition (we are all slaves to our desires) - but for me the message is about spirituality, and the eventual separation of body and soul. And I'm not even religious. Isn't "the ringing of the division bell" about the tolling of the bell we all inevitably face with death where body and spirit separate? There's a hunger still unsatisfied...maybe I need to spark up another fatty... High Hopes | Reviewer: SSDD | 6/19/08 Everytime i listen to this song i always think about the life that has passed me by and all the opportunities i had missed and all the chances i had been foolinsh enough not to take, all the friendships lost and brings a sadness that no other song does. The best song ever IMHO. Existencialism. | Reviewer: Fernando | 3/25/08 They've always gone deep in situations as the most important things to "talk" about. We aren't dead yet but relatively soon we'll be and what are the things we've cared with? What's their real importance?... heyyyyyyyyyyy | Reviewer: jay | 2/13/08 i remember the first time i listened to this song ;i was 12 now after many years i believe its been the most meaningful song i ve ever heard . U CANT LEAVE COMMENT when you aint able to absorb the elaboration of music, go listen to some dum-F*king-basses like hip-hop Great song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/10/08 This song is, in my opinion, about the struggles that Pink Floyd went through with the inevitable loss of Syd. At that time, when they were young and the horizon was bright, in London, the place they grew up, Syd got pretty heavy into drugs and was holding them back. They're music couldn't expand. Syd was slowly fading away and holding them back too. I believe the reference to "small animals" is a direct reference to the song from the studio album 'Ummagumma', the song: "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving on with a Pict". I know that Syd wasn't there when Ummagumma came was recorded but his presence was still there in the band's creativity. The niche they carved for themselves was experimental and kinda... crazy. I believe it was a result of Syd's lasting influence. They were living a life of slow decay staying this way. SO, in a nut shell, this song in my opinion is about they way they felt then and the way they are now and the resounding affect that their time with Syd had on their sanity, their creativity, their dynamic with each other, and the still uncertain future. 1/22/08 | Reviewer: Emily | 1/22/08 i love pink floyd...this song is amazing. for me it's about how youth doesn't last long and before you know it life is passing you by, and you've given up on the dreams you had when you were young. Feeling | Reviewer: Petron | 1/19/08 I always have the feeling that this song refers to roger waters in a kind of way. Gilmour use tipical sentences of roger, like " weary eyes", or "To a glimpse". i dont think the song talk about him, but there´s a feeling i get about it, like some kind of reference. Related to reality | Reviewer: agneeshwar | 12/24/07 A common man from a small village, comes to city life, enter he marathon where everyone is rushing fast to get something. Something that they believe is success , something that they believe is their ultimate goal. Man's desires never dies and he keep on rushing towards that something leaving behind everyhing else that was pleasurable t him before. Wehen he reaches that something and looks back he realizes that he has killed many things for that one thing. A depiction of ground reality in thge struggle of life. No doubt this is an excellent song in every respect. Amazing. | Reviewer: Kitty | 12/12/07 I think this song is amazing and I don't much care what anyone else thinks, and I don't understand how ART can be judged. It's a personal expernince and so emotional. This song just takes hold of my heart and takes me places, it digs into the core of who I am and brings out somrthing new everytime I hear it. I love it.
