Page 2 of Lonely Day Lyrics Meaning

Ok, so about 45 seconds in, we get a very important clue. Very important. Did anybody else notice the allusion (a figure of speech that makes a reference to, or representation of, a place, event, literary work, myth, or work of art etc) when the lady walks by the glass double doors? Hellooooo! Pink Floyd:

Ok, so about 45 seconds in, we get a very important clue. Very important. Did anybody else notice the allusion (a figure of speech that makes a reference to, or representation of, a place, event, literary work, myth, or work of art etc) when the lady walks by the glass double doors? Hellooooo! Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here album cover!

Two men shaking hands, one is on fire. We all know that Wish You Were Here was written when Roger Water's grandmother died. "I wrote it around the time my grandmother died. She spent her last years at my mother's house, and when I visited, she would look at me with an anguished expression and go, 'Robert!' Robert was her husband, who had been dead for twenty years. It was very tortured and moving." (Roger Waters).

Daron Malakian: Interview Source titled "Anaylysis of Daron" (can be googled if the link fails to post). And I quote, "Malakian displays deep vulnerability when, in detailing the primary pivotal event of his life thus far, the death of his grandmother, he's asked how he dealt with the loss. "A lot of fighting," he says. "I kicked a lot of peoples' fuckin' asses. I realized that I had a lot of aggression in me. I've had to learn to keep it in check. If someone turns around to look at my chick, I want to fucking kill them. If someone fucks with my homeboys, I want to fucking kill them. I've got to keep it in check now."

Did we all catch that, the most pivitol moment was when his grandmother died. This is what the video is trying to express with the fire, its a metaphor for death, as seen on the Pink Floyd album cover mentioned above. Daron was damn right spelling out what this video was about...but to only those who know the language of symbolism ("Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws" Confucius).

To all those saying Daron's brother (or sister) died in a fire, please people, provide a source. I googled the hell out of that, and came across an Armenian teen's blog, who's brother died in a fire, and she just happened to be a Daron Malakian fan. ???. If I am wrong, and he DID say the song was about his brother (which he is an ONLY child, by the way), then by all means, prove it =)
