Quando Roger Waters escreveu essa letra, talvez não imaginasse que estava provavelmente escrevendo a auto-reflexão, algo incomum em nós humanos. Se pensarmos bem é muito difícil olhar para dentro de si próprio, um exame de auto-consciência. Para muitos de nós isso é extremamente assustador. Mas Waters teve coragem e escreveu o que poderíamos considerar o hino da auto-consciência: Hey you, um dos clássicos do grupo de rock Pink Floyd. Eis a letra:
Hey you! Out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?
Hey you! Standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me?
Hey you! Don’t help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you! Out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone would you touch me?
Hey you! With your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me?
Hey you! Would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home
But it was only a fantasy
The wall was too high as you can see
No matter how he tried He could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you! out there on the road
Doing what you're told, can you help me?
Hey you! out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me?
Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.
P.S: O autor deste blog assistiu ao filme The Wall, exibido na década de 80, uma viagem extremamente alucinante quanto ao exame da auto-consciência.
