If we didn't are we would zig zag away, occasionally glancing up through the rain (looking back and wondering what if). Garrett from Greenville, NcThis song may have alternative meaning that go along with politics, but to me this song is about lost love.Ahmed from Alex, EgyptReally in Egypt ,Pigs On The Wing.Louis, MoHOLY HELL ITS A PINK FLOYD LOVE SONG. they use metaphors and such to express what they were going through all i have to say about that.thanx for taking the time to read this, and i still care what happens to you M.S. and even though that person is gone and is probably never coming back,we can finally find some peace and closure in the memory of that person,and in all likelyhood,you find that it's only a small chapter in the book that is your life.you are never truly over what happened,but you find a way to cope somehow.i think thats what makes the song so special. the story does have a happy ending though,as in the repriseal of "pigs on the wing" at the end the "narrator",or us in this case hopefully,realizes that even though what we had and is now lost was something special, and it's ok to feel the way we did or are feeling now. the beginning track represents the initial shock we feel and we are left wondering."what if._ happened differantly?" "pigs on the wing" in this case would represent something unexpected and terrible that has happened.as we grieve, we become almost paranoid that something similiar is bound to happen again,and as a result,we become very leery about new people and experiences for fear of losing again.the lyrics "searching for/and shelter from" the "flying pigs" tells us so.the songs in between certainly reflect feelings in the form of mistrust,jealousy,anger,and all sorts of other negative emotions we feel as a result. Jim from Buffalo, Nyi think some of you make valid points that i would like to take a step further.as far as the whole album "animals" is concerned, i think each song represents different stages of the greiving process we all go through when we lose a loved one,either a death in the family,or a significant other. I never knew that there was a solo to that. That's the first time I've ever heard them 'together'. Animals, The Wall and The Final Cut taught me is that we need to stop building walls around each other and be gentle and kind, OK please?! Thanks Roger for being my hero inspiration and friend!
