- Your Possible Pasts Lyricsthey flutter behind you your possible pasts
some brighteyed and crazy some frightened and lost
a warning to anyone still in command
of their possible future to take care
in derilict sidings the poppies entwine
with cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time
do you remember me? how we used to be?
do you thing we should be closer?
she stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile
haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign
her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
for the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs
stepping up boldly one put out his hand
he said, "i was just a child then now i'm only a man"
do you remember me? how we used to be?
do you thing we should be closer?
by the cold and religious we were taken in hand
shown how to feel good and told to feel bad
tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay
and strung out behind us the banners and flags
of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags
do you remember me? how we used to be?
do you thing we should be closer?
some brighteyed and crazy some frightened and lost
a warning to anyone still in command
of their possible future to take care
in derilict sidings the poppies entwine
with cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time
do you remember me? how we used to be?
do you thing we should be closer?
she stood in the doorway the ghost of a smile
haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign
her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
for the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs
stepping up boldly one put out his hand
do you remember me? how we used to be?
do you thing we should be closer?
by the cold and religious we were taken in hand
shown how to feel good and told to feel bad
tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay
and strung out behind us the banners and flags
of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags
do you remember me? how we used to be?
do you thing we should be closer?

✔️
When we look at what the artist truly meant to say, Pink Floyd's 'Your Possible Pasts' looks back on the impermanence of memory and the role of past events in shaping one's character, employing symbols such as 'possible pasts' and 'ghost of a smile' to illustrate the perplexing and often split-up nature of memory. Your possible pasts lyrics express mostly reflection, nostalgia, angst, despair, and social commentary. At one point, however, the song more or less states that memory and nostalgia are important, as well as lost opportunities and regrets, change and transformation, and isolation and longing. The lyrics present themes of past relationships and memories, which may be difficult for younger audiences to grasp. Also, the song mentions violence and implicit danger ('knives in their backs'), which is not appropriate for very young children.
