I thought

I thought I wouldn't be afraid.
I thought it was outside the wall. I thought I could call someone within the wall with my education.
I thought I knew how to love and would not lose love.
I thought the war was long gone and I just needed to make money to eat.
I thought it would always be painful when you and I no longer see each other.
Turns out I was in the wall.
Thought to be afraid.
When the outside world is in chaos. All food is contaminated, all people are untrustworthy, all love becomes desire.
I thought I was hiding behind a wall and was afraid of being alone.
I thought you would understand that the barrier between us has never been destroyed.
I thought I'd forget when I didn't see you again.
I thought everything was fine, it was pure in here.
Yet this is but one part of the world.
Just a brick in the wall.
I am outside and inside.

Pink Floyd: The Wall quotes

  • Pink: [singing] Are there any queers in the audience tonight? Get 'em up against the wall! That one in the spotlight, he don't look right! Get him up against the wall! And that one looks Jewish... and that one's a coon! Who let all this riff raff into the room? That one's smoking a joint! And that one's got spots! If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot!

  • Pink: Stop! I wanna go home, take off this uniform, and leave the show. I'm waiting in this cell because I have to know... have I been guilty all this time?
