this song is very beautiful. from rogers voice to davids guitar solo. this song sums up The Wall perfectly too. it talks about a guilty kid who "made love to girls in magazines" and wonders if "anybody could love him" it also starts talking about the girl he's in love with who doesn't seem to love him back. (i feel like this is a reference to the cheating wife in The Wall) he wants to "bear his naked feelings" to her and "show her his dark and weak side" but is scared of what she will do. "will you send me packing? or will you take me home?" towards the end of the song he talks about killing himself or making the "final cut". but then the phone rings and he never had the nerve to finish the job. the caller on the phone must've been any loved one or even the adulterous ex wife. this stopped him from suicide. anyways this song has gotten me through a lot and never gets old for me.
@em.bojko25 This song is more involved than it first appears, and it's a shame very few notice it. The persona is not to be confused with Waters, although Waters uses the persona's quite different story to tell his own, giving the song a bunch of meanings. The persona in this story is the pilot. Some songs where the persona could not be identified with the pilot were left off the album (When The Tiger's Broke Free, which was written for The Wall, like other songs in The Final Cut). The Final Cut is supposed to rescue all that was left...

The Final Cut is supposed to rescue all that was left on the cutting floor of The Wall, recontextualize it, add new material to it and, finally, bare it all. In the title song, the pilot regrets not being able to commit suicide and the author regrets not being able to tell it all like it was, despite his lyricist genius, he thought he lacked the necessary courage. The parallel with his and personal life are there (his divorce being the driving one in this song), but like I said before Waters was a superb-lyricist and song is not just two or even three-dimensional.
