pink floydun
division bell albümündeki muhteşem bir parçadır. konuşmayan kişinin iççelişkilerini söze ve kurguya o kadar başarıyla dökmüş, bunun yanında o kadar iyi bir müzikalite yakalamıştır ki, insana bu tartışma alanının bu parçayla kapandığı hissi gelmektedir. sözleri şöyledir:
for millions of years mankind lived just like animals
then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination
we learned to talk
there' s a silence surrounding me
i can' t seem to think straight
i' ll sit in the corner
no one can bother me
i think i should speak now (why won' t you talk to me)
i can' t seem to speak now (you never talk to me)
my words won' t come out right (what are you thinking)
i feel like i' m drowning (what are you feeling)
i' m feeling weak now (why won' t you talk to me)
but i can' t show my weakness (you never talk to me)
i sometimes wonder (what are you thinking)
where do we go from here (what are you feeling)
it doesn' t have to be like this
all we need to do is make sure we keep talking
why won' t you talk to me (i feel like i' m drowning)
you never talk to me (you know i can' t breathe now)
what are you thinking (we' re going nowhere)
what are you feeling (we' re going nowhere)
why won' t you talk to me
you never talk to me
what are you thinking
where do we go from here
it doesn' t have to be like this
all we need to do is make sure we keep talking
