Wish You Were Here Lyrics

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

What is the Meaning of Wish You Were Here?

Immerse yourself in this poignant melody that explores the human condition and the longing for connection. The song speaks of life's paradoxes and choices we make, often questioning if we can discern what truly matters. It hints at how society sometimes trades genuine heroes for illusions (ghosts) and authentic experiences for superficial comfort. 🎭 The recurring refrain is a heartfelt yearning for someone absent, symbolizing lost love or companionship. It paints a picture of two souls stuck in an endless cycle of monotony and fear, wishing for escape but finding themselves in the same place over and over again. 🐠 This song is a beautiful blend of melancholy and introspection, leaving us to reflect on our own lives. #Longing #LifeChoices
