Instar's official design dropped a few days ago so that was a great excuse to continue the Hylics x Pink Floyd series 👀 I chose Marooned for them because I think it fits with being a discarded character and all, but the melancholic vibes match them well imo

All Jewish Pink Floyd fans should come together to make a Spotify playlist called "Better Pink Floyd" which will contain songs in Pink Floyd's style but aren't made by a raging antisemite.

So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask, “Can we wipe the slate clean?”
But they tell me to please go and fuck myself
You know you just can’t win

Oooooh new to Pink Floyd going through their discography very slowly but id love to hear what lyrics gilmie aimed at rog or what you think are about him
Hello and welcome!
If you want to hear David talking about Roger and shamelessly denying it, I would listen to the album The Division Bell. Not only is it full of references to their falling out, but it’s also genuinely a good album (imo). Here are some lyrical highlights:
Poles Apart:
“Hey you
Did you ever realize what you'd become?
And did you see
That it wasn't only me you were running from?
Did you know all the time but it
Never bothered you anyway?
Leading the blind while I stared out the steel in your eyes”
(the first stanza of this song is for Syd, and the second stanza (above) could not be a more obviously aimed at Roger, especially given that it opens with a reference to the song Hey You from The Wall. this seems to be about David's perspective on Roger taking over the band and the psychological issues that drove it)
A Great Day For Freedom:
“On the day the Wall came down
They threw the locks onto the ground
And with glasses high, we raised a cry
For freedom had arrived
And on the day the Wall came down
The ship of fools had finally run aground
Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight”
(David says that this song is about the Berlin Wall but….dude. You know you can’t just use the phrase “the wall” in a song and not have it interpreted as the wall. Personally, I think this song is about the aftermath of Roger leaving the band and the subsequent legal battles. War As Metaphor For Music Industry is classic floyd anyway)
Lost For Words:
While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyond your tunnel vision, reality fades
Like shadows into the night……
Can you see your days blighted by darkness?
Is it true, you beat your fists on the floor?
Stuck in a world of isolation
While the ivy grows over the door
So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me to please go fuck myself
You know you just can't win
(this entire song is definitely about Roger and the communication breakdown between the two of them. I don’t know what to say about it other than…yah. Who else could David possibly be talking about?)
anyway, those are definitely the clearest examples! If you're more or less aware of the Lore, then it's really funny when David looks you right in the eyes and acts like that's not 100% supposed to be Roger's face on the cover of the album
thanks for the ask! :)
