To me this song has not much to do with Floyd's pigs (only Link is similar) and is all polarity. Alchemy.
It actually explains what is going on in my life and is therefore a motivating song. I can only say what it means to me, and that is that Buster and Link are the same blood if not the same Pig, it never says that they are siblings "but an evil twin"
and can represent different aspects YOUR OWN personality if you will. and Buster is the side that believes that he can achieve his dreams.
"They say pigs see the wind blow, They say do or die" Link on the other hand just cranks out his job in a suit, hangs with high society Bees, eats gouda. Convincing Buster-types that they cant fly- and they are something they are not, "Referred to his snout as a nose"
"Pigs can fly" is repeated 4x for a reason and is the metaphor the impossible-
But also:
A rotten stink to a pig is not a bad thing! And while Link is an asshole
to make his life better he needs to change and follow his dreams, so he convinces Buster to Fly
That is the only explaination for the flip flop at the end. It would make too much sence if it said, "Buster can't aviate".
So here I sit at a computer programmers desk dreaming of Moe.'s buster and the time I danced by the speaker at the 6-23-07 show to Buster, wishing I was a musician. Pigs can Fly.
