Pink Floyd; Wish You Were Here

The first part of the song....So you think you can tell/Heavan from Hell?[Here the narrator is challanging the subjects wisedom. His understanding of paradox's and diochotomies. His logo-centrism.]

The second part of the song...Did they get you to trade/Your Heros for Ghost[Now he is questioning the comprosises he has made. In his imperfect understanding]


These questions or paradoxes lead to growth and a plea...How I wish/How I wish you were here[Here he is hopeful. A wish is Hopeful.]
The Narrartor is clearly in a different place than the person he is talking too. He reminisces about their previous state ...We're just two lost souls swimmiing in a fish bowl. Maybe in Rome. Maybe a roman, pagan friend. lost in the material, imperfect metaphysic...never to be redeemed or risen in Christian Love...Running over the same old ground. I see this song on the lips of Cato as he brings souls into purgatory

Pink Floyd; Fearless

Clearly the pyche is improving during the narrative. The subject is willing to take a challenge of climbing a hill but without hubris. Some say it is too steep to climb, but he takes the leap of faith.

...And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds. I look down

From here he surpasses the goal untethered from philistine logic. Its about fortitude and overcomming fears

...And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
...You look down Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd
