How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Pink Floyd say about "Another Brick In the Wall, Pt. 3"?
Genius Answer

Well, what’s happening is; from the beginning of “One of My Turns” where the door opens, there, through to the end of side three, the scenario is an American hotel room, the groupie leaves at the end of “One of My Turns” and then “Don’t Leave Me Now” he sings which is to anybody, it’s not to her and it’s not really to his wife, it’s kind of to anybody; if you like it’s kind of men to women in a way, from that kind of feeling, it’s a kind of very guilty song as well. Anyway at the end of that, there he is in his room with his TV and there’s that symbolic TV smashing, and then he resurges a bit, out of that kind of violence, and then he sings this loud saying “all you are just bricks in the wall,” I don’t need anybody, so he’s convincing himself really that his isolation is a desirable thing, that’s all.

Roger Waters, Radio 1

Why is "Another Brick in the Wall" divided into three parts?
Genius Answer

The meanings are different and they represent a different context in Pink’s story, so because of an emotional and structural reason they’re separated and on distinct points of the album.
