While general consensus (including tony118089 comment) are reasonable and cannon, I feel that this song might have an extra meaning. The fact that the protagonists gives so much thoughts about losing something platonic and starting to get physical affection, might be not a serenade to a particular female, but also an elegy to innocent youth and the fact that he can no longer percieve his female peers (friends, schoolmates) as friends, because puberty had hit and he is questioning himself his own feeling about them.

My take is that this song is about music. He doesn't need, parents, girls, friends, sonic reducer means stereo - loud music is the only thing that brings satisfaction to protagonist. The last verse is about him perfoming music himself - triumph of counter-culture dude above surrounding people, who think that it's a waste of time.

i really relate to the "i shot an angel with my fathers rifle, i shouldve set it free but i-" part of this song because i feel like with my previous relationship i dated an angelic man and i broke his heart, part of the reason why i couldnt communicate well was because of my issues with my father. i hurt an angel because the issues my father left me to deal with. eventually he didnt want to stay, he grew his wings and flew away. more reasons why i relate to this song are because of the suicidal parts. such...

"noose like a necklace on my neck, wont go" i deal with suicidal thoughts on a daily, this is what it feels like, always having a hold on my throat and not letting me say anything. "wrist down the river, not across, wanna bleed" i frequently think about cutting my arms down the long way to die.

This might be not the intended meaning, but I feel that when Syd sings about Emily, he sings about himself in third person. Last verse is like he had a perception, that he might live the rest of his life in estrangement from his bandmates, friends, fans and faraway from public eye - "Float on a river forever and ever, Emily". This makes this song even creepier for me

"Bitter Heart" is another New wave synth pop song about lovers breaking up just like their other song "More To Lose", which I consider to be way better. Basically, this is far from exceptional and a typical song that employs typical synth melodies during its time of release.

"More to lose" is a song about two lovers moving on from their relationship and finding new ways. It is a typical New Wave song but its keyboard synth melodies defines the era. This Seona Dancing's classic signature song despite being arguably a one-hit wonder.

"We Are The Champions" is used for pro sports team celebrating championships won. But it was more of a great song or an outlet for coping mechanism of living a life in the closet as a homosexual. In summary, it was actually a gay anthem about an individual seeking acceptance in society and to be able to live their life openly rather than in hiding. The bad news is respect and acceptance are earned and not an entitlement. Finally, they will always be in the minority. Seeking psychiatric help is the best option to live life normally.

the words "there she was with a blade in her hand, scars on her skin replace the kiss of the man" and "ill cut my wrists till my heartbeat is silent" mean so much to me.
