   Ironically, it was filmed after the Chernobyl incident that happened in April 1986. I also think the song reflects how Pripyat was left as it was, just a "Marooned" piece of land that has been left inhabited since that day and will be so for another 300 or so years. Everything has been "frozen in time" It is an amazing song with awesome guitar solos and background music as well...

   In a documentary Gilmour mentioned that his parents left him and his two siblings in boarding school for 18 months straight at some point. Did not pick them up for Christmas or any other holiday, just completely left their kids there for a year and a half. Gilmour was about 4 years old when they left them. I imagine this song represents what a small child feels, being left alone in such a cold, soulless place as an English boarding school in the early 1950s

   David Gilmour’s Pink Floyd albums are about love, a topic Roger Waters rarely, if ever, touched on. Marooned is an emotional pourout of feeling isolated. It can be interpreted as having just ended a relationship, or an even deeper feeling of loneliness of feeling alone while still in a relationship. I believe the interpretation was meant to be up to the listener, but is most certainly a sad song, as the wah wah pedal effect is meant to emulate wailing.

   its about how nieve man is about his existance ,were marooned on the 3rd rock from one of trillions of stars ,we wont be here forever like a shipwrecked man on a island in the middle of the sea.... unless things change it will always be this way ....we will pale into insignificance...,we are here such a short space of time when compaired to the grand scale of space and time....
   such a deep song

   I think this song is a love song, in some sense, where Gilmour's guitar playing could represent the feelings a boy has towards a girl, or vice-versa.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
