andreseng 27 Report post Posted March 28, 2010 Pretty darn close. Good job people. I have it from a very reliable source that these are the finished set of 100% right-o words: That’s it, it’s split - it won’t recover Just frame the halves and call them brothers Find your fathers and your mothers If you remember who they are Over and over they call us their friends Can’t we find something else to pretend? Like nobody won and we’re safe at the end In the darkness the film machine’s spinning So let’s leave it on We’ll be out in the street before anyone knows that we’re gone That’s it, it’s split, it can’t recover Just frame the halves and call them a whole And chip at the bricks and fill up your pockets With the pieces of wall that you stole The hunt is on, everyone’s chasing Everyone’s chasing a shot A shot rings out, nobody wants it Nobody wants it to stop That’s it, it’s split, it can’t recover Just frame the halves and call them brothers Find your fathers and your mothers If you remember who they are If you remember, if you remember, if you remember who they are Apparently reg departed from the text at the beginning...but we didn't know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie R. 3 Report post Posted April 6, 2010 Any guesses as to meaning? I was sort of thinking about the fall of the Berlin Wall. I think it makes sense, what with the 10th anniversary of the fall this past November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dentistgirl 33 Report post Posted April 6, 2010 ^i think i mentioned it in some other thread, but the Berlin Wall was my first thought too. Though "wall" doesn't have to be literal, and the song could really refer any long standing conflict/divided people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks E, B, D#, G#m (That's it it's split it won't recover) C#m, B, D#, G#m (Just frame the halves, and call them brothers) etc. All the parts that are slightly different are just variations of those 5 chords.
