Don't look for the meaning; just listen and enjoy. You don't need to know. The unknown mystery supplements the enjoyment. By all means use your imagination, let it take you on a little journey, but you don't need conclusions.

@forcelifeforce I never clicked on dislike button. I choose a music or other thing, if I don´t like I choose another thing and go for it. But tha´t I am. If I offended you then I am sorry.
never the same band when gabriel left saw them perform the lamb at manchester apollo what a night ,only went because i read they did the musical box in the encore awesome
I just ordered the album like 2 minutes ago. Its amazing, an album from 1974 by a cult band from the early 70s is still influencing kids today and it still ROCKS!
@rdfronnie Phil Collins wasn't bald when Peter Gabriel left and Gabriel left to move onto other things, he wasn't interested in Genesis once he'd done.
@gonzataker Ya know, i've never thought of this album that way. I totally agree. Great observation. Not the wall of course, but each album artistry in their own right.
the lamb lies down on broadway > white album > the wall. thats just my opinion actually. im sure all albums are stronger in their own ways of course. they also have alot in common! both are double albums from great classic bands and all 3 covers are mainly white!

where indeed did the lamb lie down on broadway? This is such unusual imagery that it still sticks until now. Considering that these guys are still here and making music, don't you think that it is about time that they explain it to us? We bought all their records.
@phellandrene I've always thought he means that The Lamb of Christ is found everywhere, even somewhere like NYC which is considered the pinnacle of modern secular society. I've heard that Gabriel is a serious Catholic. And though I'm an atheist, I consider this is an epic sonic vision of the "Jesus in the Modern World" tale.
@clonecomanderfox actually 1 (piper at the gates of dawn) then they only put 1 song of his on the second album( A saucerful of secrets (jugband blues) But thats just kids speak... Then Syd released 2 Solo albums "The Madcap Laughs" (widely considered a genius work) and "Barrett" both in 1970. Then there was a third solo album released after he went into seclusion indefinitely "Opel". Now did you want to talk about the Floyd or just Syd Barrett? Shame on you when you step through the DSS kid.....
@DaveS12382 Hey man different people have different opinions on music, that's why everyone doesn't listen to the same artist. Don't shame people for not knowing Syd Barrett as 'well' as you know him. He was good, and Pipers is a great album, but don't force your opinions on others. You've just become an overzealous Christian here.
Fantastic song and yes, the intro is, I agree, intense. It is fantastic. Bands don't experiment and have as much fun with their music any more, the way these guys did. Oh, well.
The beginning of this song is the perfect start for this album. It's so intense. You can totally tell that something big and awesome is coming your way.
This song is awesome I wish they;d play more of this on the radio
