Pink Floyd - the gunner’s dream

주인공은 사랑하는 이들에 대한 그리움을 느끼며, 부드러운 손길과 함께 편안한 곳에서의 삶을 그린다
그는 전쟁과 폭력이 없는 평화로운 세상을 꿈꾸고, 그곳에서 사람들은 안전하게 살아가며 불안감 없이 대화할 수 있기를 바란다
마지막으로 그런 꿈이 자신의 마음을 괴롭히고 있다는 것을 표현한다

Floating down, through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
But in the space between the heavens
And the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream
I had a dream
Goodbye, Max, Goodbye, Ma
After the service, when you’re walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream!
(“Oi!”) A place to stay, Enough to eat (“Over here, Morris! Get back! Get back, John!”)
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what’s more, no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don’t blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore
No one kills the children anymore
Night after night
Going round and round, my brain
His dream is driving me insane
