In the song, the character "Pink" describes his lonely life of isolation behind his self-created mental wall. He has no one to talk to, and all he has are his possessions. The song describes what Roger Waters says he experienced during the band's 1977 tour, the band's first major stadium tour. Additionally, the song contains some references to founding Pink Floyd member, Syd Barrett. The song was written after an argument between Gilmour, Waters, and co-producer Bob Ezrin during production of The Wall in which Gilmour and Ezrin challenged Waters to come up with one more song for the album. Waters then wrote "Nobody Home" and returned to the studio two days later to present it to the band. It was the last song written for The Wall. On the 30th Anniversary of The Wall episode of the US radio show In the Studio with Redbeard, David Gilmour revealed that "Nobody Home" was one of his favorite songs from the album.
The song also has some references to Pink's broken relationship with his adulterous wife. He contemplates calling her, but doesn't because he has "amazing powers of observation" and knows that she won't answer because he feels she no longer loves him. It is played in a manner that is reminiscent of a piano player in a bar.
A television playing in the background is frequently heard, including the line, "Surprise! Surprise, Surprise!" from Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. This recalls the line:
I got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from
Much of the song describes Syd Barrett's fragile mental state during 1967. In the documentary "Behind The Wall", Gilmour states that it describes the state of mind of many rockstars while on tour. However, the lyrics
I got nicotine stains on my fingers
I got a silver spoon on a chain
Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
are said to have been written specifically about keyboardist Richard Wright, who was allegedly struggling with cocaine addiction at the time.
The song tails off quietly with an abortive final verse, starting off in the same manner as the previous verses but only two lines long:
I got a pair of Gohill's boots
and I've got, fading roots
Lyrics :
I've got a little black book with my poems in.
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in.
When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in.
I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on.
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from.
I've got electric light.
And I've got second sight.
And amazing powers of observation.
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home.
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm.
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favorite satin shirt.
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers.
I've got a silver spoon on a chain.
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.
I've got wild staring eyes.
And I've got a strong urge to fly.
But I got nowhere to fly to.
Ooooh, Babe when I pick up the phone
"Surprise, surprise, surprise..." (from Gomer Pyle show)
There's still nobody home.
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
and I got fading roots.
