Agreed, except the other mentions of the "wall" in the album are this thing we build in ourselves that eventually traps us. So I would offer that the experience of education itself is just another brick in the wall that we put up around ourselves that creates unhappiness, isolation, stifles creativity and eventually, drives us mad. Not that it matters I'm just a PF fanboy.

@@fromlostdays863 You're correct, the chorus is saying the teachers are another brick in the wall, not the system turning kids into another brick in the wall as the original poster guessed. As a pf fan you already know the song is one piece of the larger message of "the wall". One of the best overall concept albums ever made. Although I prefer Animals or DSOTM if we're talking pf concept albums.

This song was actually featured in the musical film The Wall, based on the 1979 album. It's a long music video with metaphorical messages about the rock star Pink, who, driven into insanity by the death of his father, constructs a physical and emotional wall to protect himself. A great movie for a great album.

There is a documentary about The Wall that was part of the 25th Anniversary Re-release. The first part of the movie is supposedly Roger Waters childhood. Father killed in the etc. The second part of the movie is supposedly the breakdown of Sid Barret who was the original singer in Pink Floyd. He had an LSD induced mental breakdown and was never the same again. The poem the teacher recites is the words to the song Money on Dark side of the moon.

I love your reaction. It's truly how Pink Floyd music makes most of us feel. Your reaction is so pure.

Highly recommended that you listen to the entire album or even the movie that was made for it to understand the context. The album is an amazing piece of storytelling through the eyes of Pink who wen through many emotional and physical scar due to his mother being overprotective and father's death and later became a star who couldn't handle/understand the pressure of such lime light. He then was cheated on by his wife while on tour and while reflecting on everything, decided to create a mental and physical wall (by not leaving his room) to the outside world. The album, while not a direct story of any one person of the band, has influences from many of the band members and their life. It's a very in-depth look at one's psyche and some things represented in the album talk about the loss of individuality hence this song where they describe how bullying from students and teachers cause one to lose their individual aspects as shown through their faces being made to look the same.

Loving the diversity. Homies delving into different genres

Stevie knight and pink Floyd?!? Let’s goooooo

The video is from their "The Wall" movie. Based off their album. Basically the story of a young boy growing up in England around WW2 through adulthood and the sad things he went through. This is basically saying that his schooling was teaching them to be worms following the flow of their elders. The bricks are a metaphor for the wall he builds around himself.

I appreciate that you’re open to listening to different types of music! So many amazing sounds out there to explore!

Pink Floyd is my Dad’s favorite group. When he was 60ish I convinced him to like Hip Hop by getting him to listen to Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star and telling him it was the Dark Side of the Moon of Hip Hop.

Man, you need to listen to the album “The Wall”. It’s definitely an acquired taste but it’s a classic. There are some of their best songs on it. You aren’t going to dig it all but the album is actually an entire story of a little boy who grows up to fight in WW2 and comes home to get addicted to heroine and the start a terrorist group similar to the Nazis. He ends up getting caught and locked up for it all. It might seem like spoilers but it’s just better contexts if you go into listening to this album.

That's not the story. It is the story of a man going insane, and his internal struggles. His father was killed in ww2. The terrorist thing is part of the wall he put up in his head. He wasn't necessarily hooked on heroine, though drugs were involved. The "pin prick" is from the dr giving him drugs. Also, he is only imprisoned in his own mind. He is his own judge. Obviously you have spent many an hour listening and picking the story apart, so much respect, but you really have some wrong conclusions. Need to watch the movie to get it.

Faceless, loosing individuality I love how much fun you have in this 😂

This video is so real to me. I was educated in a school just like that, with teachers just like that especially the older teachers. Some of them had been in the army and fought. One had even been an arctic explorer. They were hard men who didn't take crap and some were bitter. In an all boys school we only had one female teacher.

Ok stevie I see you my dude!! Now you're reacting lol

A lot of alcoholic teachers at my school too, racist bigots living on grey 1970s housing estates entirely dissatisfied with their lives and the state of Britain at the time.

2.43 The poetry is the lyrics from Money on Dark Side of the Moon. This is from The Wall movie made after the album came out. This song was released as a single & made No1 in the UK over Xmas 1979 making it the last UK No1 of the 1970's. Bob Geldof, lead vocalist with his band The Boomtown Rats, was 'Pink' in the film, later organised Live Aid 1985 & Live 8 2005 in which he got Floyd back together for their last ever appearance with the classic 1970's lineup. They were the final band of the day & just blew everyone away.
