"Stop" is a song from the 1979 Pink Floyd album, The Wall. It was written by Roger Waters. [1] [2]
Plot
Pink is tired of his life as a fascist dictator and the hallucination ends. Also tired of "The Wall", he accordingly devolves into his own mind and puts himself on trial.
Film version
After " Waiting for the Worms", Pink screams out "stop", where we find him sitting at the bottom of a bathroom stall. He seems to be reading the lyrics from a sheet of paper where a few of the lines come from, at the time, unreleased material written by Waters. The line "Do you remember me / How we used to be / Do you think we should be closer?", comes from " Your Possible Pasts". Other lines come from " 5:11AM (The Moment of Clarity)". As Pink finishes the lyrics to "Stop", the security guard seen in the segment for " Young Lust" slowly pushes open the stall door, which leads to the animated intro of " The Trial".
