Pink Floyd - Two Suns In The Sunset

... we were all equal in the end...

From "Final Cut", Pink Floyd's last album with Roger Waters...
"Two Suns In The Sunset" lyrics:

in my rear view mirror the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and i think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and i suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come
the rusty wire that holds the cork
that keeps the anger in
gives way
and suddenly it's day again
the sun is in the east
even though the day is done
two suns in the sunset
hmmmmmmmmm
could be the human race is run
like the moment when your brakes lock
and you slide toward the big truck
and stretch the frozen moments with your fear
and you'll never hear their voices
and you'll never see their faces
you have no recourse to the law anymore
and as the windshield melts
my tears evaporate
leaving only charcoal to defend
finally i understand
the feelings of the few
ashes and diamonds
foe and friend
we were all equal in the end

Is that gun the "Atomic Annie" or a smaller pre-version?

[autostopowicz70]

@alpha18412 The Atomic Cannon, at 280 mm, was the largest nuclear capable mobile artillery piece manufactured by the United States. On May 25, 1953, a 280 mm cannon fired an atomic projectile a distance of 7 miles at the Nevada Test Site. Twenty 280 mm cannons were manufactured. None were used in battle.

Pink Floyd at its best..... melody, perspective, though, poetry... unleashed in 'one' explosion!

@Dihital its meaning bascily in its final notes......ashes and diamonds... for and friend.. we were all equal in the end.... meaning.. it took all this destruction and whatnot to get us to remind oursellves of HOW equal we all our... the same blood and bones here and all over this planet...we all ARE equal.. its just todays society is about money, and appliances you dont REALLY need, and that signifies a Class, despite the basic assembly of this entire "process"

@Slipandfall360 well bring a case... cuz nothing will happen. Life WILL go on..the only REAL end to ANY world, is when you or i personally died.. hence.. the end of the world..OUR world as in OUR state of being.. and that fact that death is INEVITABLE.. rest easy in knowing one by one we will fall.. but i dont see a huge holocaust ending all life...

Nobody noticed the two suns back in November i'm guessing? Between 8:40am and 8:45 am when it was visible?

December 21, 2012 I'm going to put my lawn-chair out in my driveway...put this song on, crack open a beer and watch it all end.....

[FreeVojvodina]

we were all equal in the end - that's true!

[Dihital]

My main criterion for a song is "is it moving for me". If it is, I'll give it 5 stars, otherwise I won't bother to vote at all.

This one song, although I can't say I've discovered its meaning, is one of my favorites. The pure emotions I can relate too is unexplainable.
