I have always gotten a blood-chilling picture every time I hear this song. The verse:
"He has laughed and he has cried
he has fought and he has died
he's just the same as all the rest,
he's not the worst, he's not the best."
makes me think that its criticizing humanity and how the individual is considered nothing to the realm of the world. It relates to many of their lyrics from many of their albums: "Shall we set out across this see of faces? In search of more and more applause?" (What Shall We Do Now?, The Wall movie) "Don't worry, nobody lives forever." (A New Machine pt. I, AMLOR)
I think it is a meaning of saying that "forever" is a meaningless term and thinking your name will ever be remembered when your gone. In other words, you die, your gone and you don't matter or change the world anymore if you ever did when you were alive. As Pink said in the song "he's just the same as all the rest."
