Bricks in the Wall (An Epiphany)

This song shows an epiphany that a young adult gets when he starts to think that he is not the only one who has problems. Each and everyone of us has our own problems.

I’d walk my way veer off the door

For I would pack my stuff and go

The air is forcing me to run

Across the town I’m hiding in

I’m sick of buildings on the street

And I would swim against the stream

I leave the green upon the trees

I let the grass feel the same way

Oh, I’ll run away

I’d come into the forest to see my face

Covered up with fears of the things that unclear

And the shadows darken by the fading sun

I’d mend my pace to a complete darkness

Until I can see the reflection of the real world

Of the real me

Then I’d realize that of all I’ve done

I’m nothing but a brick

Oo oh, oo oo oh

I’m just a brick in the wall

Oo oh, oo oo oh

I’m just a brick in the wall

No matter where I go,

No matter where I run

No matter where I stay

I’m just a brick in the wall

No matter what I have

No matter what I know

No matter what I’ve done

I’m just a brick in the wall

Can you see my face, full of uncertainty?

Just like yours, puzzled by reality

Can you feel my hands, cold and shaking like hell?

Chilled by the wind, but I’m sure you’d understand

Cause we’re just the same

Flesh and bones

We’re kids of the Earth

We’re just bricks in the wall

If one of us falls

There’d be a hole

The Earth starts to crumble

Cause we’re the bricks

Of the wall of the world

We’re all the same bricks

Of the wall of the world

Let’s deal with reality

I love the last few lines of this, does a great job tying the theme of the poem together, which is great! Really relatable and honest, beautifully portrayed. Awesome job
