no, they were searching for answers the same as the rest of us - in one song they made a good point - together we stand, divided we fall...from the album the wall i believe

You better stay home and do what you’re told

Stay out of the road, if you want to grow old.


Seems to me that PF were very aware of the PTB and their propensity to do away with the famous that send the wrong messages.

What is the deal with Pink Floyd? Are they occultists? Were they part of an elaborate scheme during the psychadelic 60s to forge new ground in mind control? Why do their songs/lyrics seem to lay out a NWO type of conspiracy? Welcome to the Machine, I am looking for out-there theories that could tie one of the biggest rock bands of all time into the bigger picture. I have always had this nagging feeling that there is "more" to this band than meets the eye. Has anyone already researched this subject. If so, please post material here!

Thanks in advance

There's definitely more to Pink Floyd than meets the eye. I'm not convinced of any NWO scheme, but I was deeply involved with the 'Publius Enigma' event that the band planned near the release of The Division Bell and later around their Live8 performance. If you would like to know more please U2U.

Icy wind of night be gone this is not your domain
In the sky a bird was heard to cry.
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds
Belie the deathly silence that lay all around.

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox
Gone to ground.
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer
Making for the sea.

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down.
All around me golden sun flakes settle on the ground.
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room.

To me, these lyrics evoke images of Grail legends. The first stanza describes the barren kingdom of King Arthur. In the second, we have the kingfisher = fisher kings. The river beneath the trees is the Underground Stream of hermetic knowledge.
In the third stanza we have the 'water meadow.' Water is an integral part of Grail legend, especially water (fountain, small lake) surrounded by dense forest or meadow. The is where we get Lady of the Lake, or the House del Acqs, or du Lac, as in Lancelot du Lac. Acqs is the medieval derivative of the Latin aquae, meaning water.

for more secret communiques - read the lyrics for Styx Sweet Madam Blue. and other songs also contain information about America.

"Comfortably Numb" plays at my work about every other day. It really seems to allude to MK-Ultra (alluding to the feeling one gets after electroshock torture and then reprogramming). This would provide a really good explanation for band member/s going "crazy."

PinkFloyd is the 23 enigma......please, research this yourself.
Tell me i'm wrong.

I always imagined that little "spat" that Waters and Gilmour had/have with each other was something along the lines of.. you know.. touting off and laying down the somber aspects of the People as victims of the PTB .. the machine of society etc..and actually "seeing" how it all operates..oppresses the soul etc..etc..

then they blew up .. having the number one selling album at some time or another (dark side of the moon)

obviously having that kind of success brings a certain amount of attention from certain people.
a cocktail party or two? lil' rubbing of shoulders with certain connected people? nudge nudge wink wink say no more.

possibly one of them got deep into the other side and the people deeply into it.. and tried to explain it all to the other member .. as .. you know.. "a type of necessary thing that was good for humanity.. that was needed etc.. "balance" (sometimes I am torn between thinking that and the opposite)... and the other being consequently disgusted with the thought.


i just always had this kind of feeling about that long drawn out band-breaking-up spat they had... that it had something to do with what I just described.

Are ppl really this retarded? Pink Floyd is a band. I seriously doubt there is a conspiracy behind their music and even if there is, who the hell cares? Do you possess your mind or not? I like pink floyd but don't worship the devil or fall for the bull# that is our government. I listen to them with the full knowledge that they are a band and their music is just that....... music that *I* interpret however I choose to interpret it.

All this mind control bs is just that....... bs. If you actually believe that others can control your mind, then you deserve nothing less than what you think.

*love the songs "hey you" and "comfortably numb"*

DOGS OF WAR i think is as closer to the NWO than you think

Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we dont discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather round and haggle
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters dont know the web we weave

One world, its a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... one world

Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the dogs of war
You cant stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast

One world, its a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... one world

The dogs of war dont negotiate
The dogs of war wont capitulate,
They will take and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know theyve been there before
Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.

One world, its a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... one world

duplicate post - sorry
