It’s not a protest song against EDUCATION per se, I don’t think…More like a protest against manipulating the way impressionable youngsters think and adding “another brick in the wall” of soc. etc…I think. That’s what I get out of it, anyhoo.
as he said, it’s not a education protest song in particular just those who treat people unfairly which in this case was used as the boarding schools in southern england.
also not particularly metal in the sense but quality quality song.
According to Pink Floyd themselves, it was written to be a protest song. It’s also shown within the lyrics as well.
Your facts are both true and no this song is not metal.
But thumbs up to the “quality quality song”
I LOVVVEEE THIS SONG!!! <3 Plus ur blog! Amazing job ;D
