No Picture Jo Wanna Be	#2 by Jo Sterling at Jan 16, 2006 at 7:07 PM EST
	when i was little, like 9-ish, i watched the wall with my dad and i always thought it was about the Berlin wall. i understand it's not now, but i suppose some aspects could be looked at as that.

	regb is right! I agree with him! Mama is going to make your nightmares come true! Its true, some mothers are overprotective. You got to love the lyrics! Awesome song!

No Picture zach Average	#4 by zach c at Mar 1, 2006 at 9:28 AM EST
	Well, the wall is the guys life, and hes basically saying hes trapped in his life.

No Picture Cody Wanna Be	#5 by Cody Mann at May 12, 2006 at 1:32 AM EST
	I believe it means that Pink's mother has blocked out almost all things socially that normal people experience, to protect him. But because she was so over protective, she blocked out so much that he was too vulnerable, so he had to build it higher, and this cycle continues until he finally loses it in "The Trial." that's my interpretation..

No Picture Scott Wanna Be	#6 by Scott Michel at Aug 30, 2006 at 2:42 AM EST
	Yet another pile of bricks thrown onto the spoiled mind of pink..... his mother started it all! hoyden im pretty sure ur right... i love this song and the whole album cause one song cant be understood without them all!

	A man's Disturbing relationship with his Mother, like a Dysfunctional, overprotective Mother.

No Picture Squirrels Lead Player	#8 by Squirrels Dyrant at Nov 22, 2006 at 11:01 PM EST
	This song gives the best definition (IMHO) of "the wall": it protects you from the outside, but traps you inside. The mother is one of the wall (I think there are many of "walls" in PF life), he knows she will always take care of him, but she will over-protect him. That's why the questions (momma should I do this ou that): because he knows she always will lead him to a safe (sometimes, TOO safe) path.
