Pink Floyd "High Hopes" The Division Bell [Lyrics] Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The night of wonder Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again Dragged by the force of some inner tide At a higher altitude with flag unfurled We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world Encumbered forever by desire and ambition There's a hunger still unsatisfied Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon Though down this road we've been so many times The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever

its a telephone conversation where charlie (gilmour's young son) hangs up on steve o'rourke (floyd's manager). it sums up the whole album's concept of failure of communication. its also genius!!

No words can describe how beautiful "High Hopes" is.. has anyone ever understood what's goin' on at the very end of the whole album? (several secs after the song's ending I can hear a telephone hang up and someone saying "Charlie"? :S)

pink floyd is seriously the best band of all time seriously they are my reason to live & i no that probably sounds a bit dramatic but i don't know what it is about the band its like it sucks me into my own little world when i listen to their music it doesn't matter if ive had just about the worst day ever because when i come home and listen to pink floyd im all alone surrounded by serenity and peace. and it makes me almost want to kill myself knowing that ill never get to see them play live

Pettiness of age and social design take its toll, "Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground". When all one wants is to be is with freinds and do some grass :-) and make music.But all you is left is just reminiscence.

I think this song is about how life catches u with age. When you were younger you could dream"Out thots strayed constantly without boundaries". You dont live life anymore, "To a life consumed by slow decay".You become corporatized with a job and ambition catcches up , "we reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world" "Theres' a hunger still unsatisfied".Yet,thats not what u want, "Steps taken forward, but sleepwalking back again".
