Question: How do you interpret these lyrics!?
"Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

And no-one showed us to the land
And no-one knows the where or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
And no-one speaks and no-one tries
And no-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky" - Pink Floyd, Echoes

I think it may tie into human evolution, but I don't fully understand it!. What are your thoughts about the lyrics!? Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Evolution is being used as a metaphor for relationships!. Just as an unknowable agency spurred primitive life forms to crawl onto land and start the process of becoming human, so to is there an inexplicable force that will compel two people to connect with each other and develop as people together!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
