What did Roger Waters of Pink Floyd mean by this line in the song "Wish You Were Here? - roger barrett - pink floyd
"Did you exchange a visit to the war for a lead role in a cage?" Undoubtedly one of the best lines, but what the hell, with Syd Barrett's? "I've always heard this song was about Syd Barrett. Syd was a rebel?

It can be interpreted in different ways. I would say that war is a metaphor for life, or more accurately the world of music and apparently has told successfully in both. Syd was one of the most popular musicians in London and was one of the accounts of all those who are loved by all who knew him say the life of the party so that was the total of all very easy for him. However, "exchange" all your personal and professional success with LSD marathon mainly in a mental cage, work and society as a whole caught. I have not read a single book that the significance of each song by Pink Floyd, when it accounted for only speculation. Good question!
Well, I do not know what that one line, but I think it only plays on the theme of the songs of pain, confusion, sadness and emptiness you feel when someone you do not have any. and yes, while Syd was the inspiration for the whole group to do this song and the whole album, the song can be any other person who is dead, or is everything already. But Syd was a friend of the whole group, and they all failed. Then they went and wrote one of the best albums of all time in Wish You Were Here
Syd Barrett was obviosly acid was the time of these things, and really hit schizophrenia and it is getting worse. Therefore, it was a kind of isolation, I mana Pink Floyd.
My interpretation is that redeem the war in the direction of Pink Floyd and isolated for a leadership role for himself as his cage.
I do not know if it's him, but if the line is Syd, what I think:
They had a lot of music of war
"If the Tigers Break Free"
The game of baseball submarine
Syd and was a central element.
The cage can be, when Syd went mad with too many drugs and went with his mother to live in Cambridge. He was out of the band and went into the house.
It was not a draft by the Dodgers since there is no project in the United Kingdom.
He talks about 2 people, his father, who died in the war, never forgave him for the good old King George for his loss and Syd After his discharge from the band.Roger & Syd's friends were at the university, and Roger was hard to separate , a good friend. Roger title is much to do with his past, which is why I have so much passion.
