The sequence – simultaenously beautiful and unnerving – is rife with rich cinematography and complex symbolism that belie the apparent calmness of the scene, much as the lyrics of the song hint at deeper feelings of discord despite the song’s rather peaceful melody. Still I will be merry [repeat] Rose, Rose, Rose red, Shall I ever see thee wed?

Though Waters has stated that the “Hendrix perm” Pink sings of was worn by many 1970’s rock stars, Barrett is particularly well known for trying the hairstyle on a couple of occasions, as can be seen in many of the band’s publicity photos nearing the end of his tenure with Pink Floyd as well as their promotional videos, such as that for “Jugband Blues.” (Barrett’s hair is the central figure of some [arguably] drug-related Floyd apocrypha. It would appear that now that he’s turned inward, his subconcsious won’t let him easily escape the feelings he has repressed for so long. Much like the dog in search of his absent master, Pink has spent his life searching for something to fill the void left by his own absent father. Like the soldiers disappearing into the mist in “the Thin Ice,” young Pink vanishes into the thick, white smoke that fills the landscape. "I was in High School when the album came out. Although the thought of someone who is cognizant enough of their insanity might seem a bit oxymoronic (after all, doesn’t the very definition of insanity imply an absolute abandon of rationality and cognizant thought), it is no more different than Pink’s later euphemisms in “The Trial” in which he notes his dementia with lines such as “crazy, over the rainbow, I am crazy.” Delirious though he may be, there still remains some part of him that is rational enough to realize that he is deluded; some part that allows him to cling to the “fading roots” of both reality and his past.

When we do this in girl scouts, we do Hey ho as an unresolved 3-line song, (Hey ho, nobody home is only said once per time). Part of that discord arises in the way the artistic is juxtaposed with the mundane. Pink begins his catalogue of possessions with his “little black book” full of poems (possibly the lyrical basis for the little black book of poems for which he is ridiculed by his teacher during the movie sequence for “the Happiest Days of Our Lives”), then follows this artistically holy image – this icon of the Artist – with the banal contents of his toiletry bag, complete with “a toothbrush and a comb.” Accordingly, the rest of the song develops into an exchange between the visionary and the typical, with the high-minded, artistic items – those mediums through which the poetic gems are pulled from the creative ether (the book of poems, the grand piano, second sight) – contesting for space with the more commonplace items of the everyday (13 channels on the T.V., electric lights, nicotine stains). Like the “silver spoon,” even it serves double-duty, foreshadowing Pink’s later (remembered) fever as a child in which his “hands felt just like two balloons.” Furthermore, as both drug reference and flashback, Pink’s “swollen hand blues” contribute to the song’s previously mentioned themes of internal discord by evoking two wholly different ideas of the main character: the innocence of young Pink struck by illness set in stark contrast with the adult Pink watching the military-themed comedy series Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.

Hey ho, nobody home, Meat nor drink nor money have I none Yet shall we be merry, Hey ho, nobody home. Given the rather conceptual nature of the scenes, the movie’s depiction of “Nobody Home” seems to draw more on the aforementioned notion that the “home” Pink is searching for is a mental state, and that the person he is unable to reach is his own rational self. The phrase “nobody home” is a fairly popular idiom in modern English meaning that someone isn’t mentally present; one might say of a daydreamer not paying attention to a conversation that “nobody’s home”…ie, he might be physically present but his mind is somewhere else, … Crouching and crazed in an insane asylum is far from the hopeful aspirations of a young Pink asking if he should “run for President.” And so the younger self retreats, either because of the understanding that he is, subconsciously, this very same monster, or because of the fear that this is what he will become if he doesn’t rediscover his true self and bring down his wall.

Curiously, I never made the link between the two works and that happened recently. All the things by which he’s defined himself – the possessions and drugs and fame – are merely stage props void of personal significance…a realization that slowly dawns on Pink throughout “Nobody Home” as well as the rest of the album’s second half.

Another reading views the scene as a first meeting between the ideals and innocence of young Pink (those youthful dreams sung of in “Mother”) and his current, world-wearied self. The "TELEPHONE" and "NOBODY HOME" either refer to Pink's adultaerous wife, or the beggeing stages of the first shcizophrenic fantasy that Pink falls into, including "NOBODY HOME", "VERA" & "BRING THE BOYS BACK HOME" The second verse seems to be about the luxury's of being a rockstar, and how they mean nothing.

Think of what it might've been if we C F (Ho!) The line also serves lyrical double-duty as a synonym for the ironic emptiness of Pink’s wealth, calling to mind such colloquial phrases as being “born with a silver spoon in his mouth” (ie, someone who is born wealthy and privileged).

Pounding himself against his chair, Pink mentally returns to his childhood roots when his adult body fades into that of his younger self. In a way, the songs are companion pieces depicting opposite ends of a superstar’s manic-depressive career, with the manic euphoria of “Young Lust” embodying a hedonistic embarkation into a world of carnal pleasures, only to be followed by the depressive quagmire of “Nobody Home” and its awareness that such luxuries, not to mention a life based solely on them, are hollow and meaningless. So far, the majority of the discussion of the song has focused on the discord created by the alternating ideas of artistic yearning and mundane if not altogether oppressive reality. Hey ho, nobody home, Meat nor drink nor money have I none Yet shall we be merry, Hey ho, nobody home. Such is the state in which we find Pink in “Nobody Home,” locked away in his hotel room with some inkling that he needs help, but uncertain as to whether he truly wants it or how to even go about getting it. While the above is certainly the most prominent interpretation of the song’s chorus and title, it is by no means the only one.

Couched drug references sprinkled throughout the song further link Pink’s mental breakdown with Barrett’s own. One can easily interpret the rewarding “they” as a range of people and entities, whether Pink’s record company (who no doubt throw him a golden “bone” for high record sales), his fans (who reward him with praise when he performs well), or life in general and its karmic notions of reward for good behavior, punishment for bad. The resulting effect is a mind untethered, floating along the stream of consciousness and never quite landing on any one mood, or personal philosophy, or theme even, excepting the one lyrical idea that he returns to with each chorus – the idea of “home.” Although the song is relatively complacent with Waters’ mostly composed voice drifting over the introspective piano chords, there is still a sense of disunity below the surface – a hint of discord in a seemingly languid melody. It is clear that between 'Nobody Home' and 'Vera', there are two parts of Battle of Britain soundtrack mixed together: the first short piece is a BBC radio report, stating how many German planes have been destroyed on Battle of Britain Day. it’s got a sort of sad rap feeling to them if you know what i’m talking about In his fragile, near-catatonic mental and physical state, Pink begins to list those things that he has, those things of which he is certain that he still possesses, after having lost so much in his life already; including most recently, his wife’s love. Not surprisingly, it’s during this cinematic moment of searching and loss that Pink fully regresses into his past in an attempt to find himself. It’s the conflict between innocence and experience and the reaction of that childlike purity when faced with what one will become. / I been trying to do it right (Hey!) Hey Ho, nobody home. No, it was probably the happiest-sounding song released during that entire decade. Though this oft-repeated refrain was initially linked with his mother (“the Thin Ice”, “Mother”), it was last sung in “Don’t Leave Me Now” in much the same way as here, as a possible anguished address to his adulterous wife. Ho Hey Lyrics: Ho! That the wife is the object of his languish and the person he associates with ideas of “home” is given further credence when he sings “ooooh, babe” towards the end. By one interpretation, the meeting of the two Pinks might represent that rational part of self coming face to face for the first time with his repressed subconscious, that is, his own insanity. and the 1969 WWII film Battle of Britain in a drug stupor and taking a mental catalog of the ruins of his life. Young Pink watches his catatonic adult form for a second before walking off into the barren landscape. Pink’s “swollen hand blues” is certainly one of the song’s more evocative images, and can conceivably allude to either the physical swollen hands many heroin users develop, or simply the delusive feeling of swelling while high on a hallucinogen. Lyrics submitted by Action songs also work to get the kids involved. All alone scared in your room, would you swear there’s nobody home On the bed laying awake as you prayed he’d leave you alone I’ll let the darkness swallow me whole I need to find you, need you to know I’ll be your friend in the daylight again There we will be, like an old enemy Like the salt and the sea the only lyrics that i have are “smile that you wear” and when the word wear is said, it’s stretched out and has auto tune. art of him [wants help], but part of him that’s, you know, making all his arms and legs…that’s making everything work, doesn’t want anything except just to sit there and watch the TV.” So Roger Waters explained in his 1979 album explication with Tommy Vance. / Hey!

Pammelia is a collection of English rounds and canons, 1st published in England in 1609 by Thomas Ravenscroft . This idea of dreams vs. reality is further touched on when Pink sings “I have a strong urge to fly,” his voice soaring with the piano and orchestra, before descending back to reality as he realizes that “I have no where to fly to.” In other words, his spirit yearns for a freedom he cannot obtain because, firstly, he is bound by the weight of his own wall, and secondly, because he has no true home or loved one to which he can fly. For most of his life, Pink has projected his faults onto the world, making himself into a blameless martyr slighted by life. C F (Ho!) Is it too late? Background "Nobody Home" was written late into the development of The Wall after an argument between the band and Roger Waters. The inherent dualism of Pink and life itself is brought to the foreground as young Pink explores the barren, war-torn landscape – the innocence of youth prominent against the brutal destruction, the dead soldiers, and the lifeless trenches. Similarly, his “wild, staring eyes” also seem a possible allusion to Syd’s half-crazed stare, memorably depicted as “black holes in the sky” in the song “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.” Some have suggested that the “pinhole burns” in the “satin shirt” is a reference to the cigarette burns Syd’s clothes would acquire as he’d lapse into his catatonic states, though in a 2009 interview with Mojo magazine, Waters claimed that “[t]he satin shirt is mine…I can see that shirt now, with all the pinhole burns from the burning hash.” Rounding out the list of Syd attributes, is the “pair of Gohills boots,” a trendy British shoe of the late 60’s fastened by elastic bands rather than laces (“I’ve got elastic bands keeping my shoes on”), which Barrett owned in yellow and which Waters, in that same 2009 interview, identified as Syd’s. For Pink, the ultimate aspiration is the personally creative, but the reality is a simple, almost animalistic system of material reward for “good” performance / sales / behavior.
