It would not be the first time that Pink Floyd had created a song that was generally-stated, but personal in nature (the entirety of the album "Wish You Were Here" was dedicated to their ex-bandmate, Syd Barrett). Like many of the songs on The Division Bell, the song could be seen as David Gilmour addressing his ex-bandmate, Roger Waters.David Gilmour has been seen to cry during concerts when performing this song as it is an extremely emotional piece. The speaker then realizes that this person is a part of the past, and that the time had finally come to let him/her go and move on with their life.

It is about a spiritual renewal on the part of the narrator.
