- Wish You Were Here LyricsSongwriters: Waters, Roger; Gilmour, David Jon;
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?
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
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here
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?
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
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

When we think about what all of this might truly mean, the 'Wish You Were Here - Live' track from Pink Floyd deals with conveying the sadness and longing caused by the absence of a person, which is illustrated through the comparison of two lost souls floating in a fishbowl. The song raises questions about life's decisions, wondering if it was worth to exchange heroes for ghosts and comfort for change, and finally relieving the deep feeling of yearning and unprocessed emotions.

Differently, the song at the same time, delves into the impact of longing and loss on a person, disillusionment, and existential reflections.
