I had commited suicide, and was already dying and heading to the light at the end of the tunnel. I knew the moment had arrived, the moment to bury our history and start over again, I thought about our actual (non existing) relation, and realized that I just had to wait. While our time was ending, and the other guy's time was about to start, I was depressed, thinking about the distance that now separate us, and irresistibly wanting to commit suicide.ДЇor killing the past and coming back to life I took a heavenly ride through our silence' While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime 'While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted I was lost thinking and looking to the light at the end of the tunnel* While you were hanging around with another guy who is trying to seduce you with his words. I was staring straight into the shining sun ВїWhere were you when I was dying alone while remembering the things you did and said? My InterpretationTo me, is about a depressed guy who was left by his girlfriend and finally commits suicideДЄnd where were you when I was hurt and I was helplessД«ecause the things you say and the things you do surround me ' 'And I headed straight.into the shining sun' move forward with his life and bright future. 'I took a heavenly ride through our silenceДЄnd I headed straight.into the shining sun' 'I took a heavenly ride through our silence' I took the time that we were apart to ponder this relationship 'For killing the past and coming back to life' in order to let go of the past and come back to life or live again. He sat and reflected on the danger of 'risking' this relationship for his own happiness. While the 'rain fell dark and slow' outside. This is talking about committing to the change. I took a heavenly ride through our silenceДЇor killing the past and coming back to life' This is talking about deep thought and reflection that comes when someone is considering making a major life change because he had seen that the relationship could not be salvaged and the desire to move on was now present. While the seeds of live and the seeds of change were planted' This to me is talking about that friend being mislead by someone else and believing whatever they were told and in their absence, he started to see that the relationship could not be saved AKA seeing the light of a bad relationship and this 'light' was as bright and blinding as the sun. I was staring straight into the shining sun' 'While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words This to me says something about a bad relationship where one person was living in the aftermath of someone's or a friend's lies and actions and because of what the friend had done, he felt betrayed and alone. Where were you when I was hurt and I was helplessД«ecause the things you say and the things you do surround me' While the days slipped by from my window watching 'Where were you when I was burned and broken This song in my opinion sounds a lot like betrayal and a rebirthing in a sense. David Gilmore did say that this album was not referencing Roger Waters in any way, solthough it would be fitting, this song is not talking about Roger Waters. My InterpretationThis song along with every song on the album has a central theme of communication. Perhaps one day, someday I too will kneow the moment has arrivedДЇor killing the past and coming back to life. I just wish that I could say I was proud of myself again. The first time in my life she's said she was proud of me - it choked me up, and I cried. Great job, new house, still got awesome friends and am doing fantastically well - my Mum the other month said she was so proud of me for getting back on my feet. It wasn't a serious crime, but it was stupid. I hope that some day, at some point in the future, I shall be able to bury my demons that I live with day to day, and forgive myself. I have cut myself off from friends, despite them standing by me - because I am too ashamed of what I did. And to this day, I am unable to forgive myself.

I remember saying at the time, that I would move on from that time, but I would never forgive myself.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about what I did, and how bleeding stupid it was.

Whilst my parents have forgiven me, and I've by all accounts succeeded since this time, I've got a great job, and am doing really well. General CommentIm living with the consequences of a huge mistake I made 6 years ago which saw me spend 6 months as a guest of Her Majesty.
