The Trial (song)
"The Trial" (working title "Trial by Puppet") is a track from Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera/concept album ''The Wall''. Written by Roger Waters and Bob Ezrin, it marks the climax of the album and film.
==Plot==
The song centres on the main character, Pink, who having lived a life filled with emotional trauma and substance abuse has reached a critical psychological break. "The Trial" is the fulcrum on which Pink's mental state balances. In the song, Pink is charged with "showing feelings...of an almost human nature". This means that Pink has committed a crime against himself by actually attempting to interact with his fellow human beings. Through the course of the song, he is confronted by the primary influences of his life (who have been introduced over the course of the album): an abusive schoolmaster, his wife, and his overprotective mother. Pink's subconscious struggle for sanity is overseen by a new character, "The Judge". In ''Pink Floyd The Wall'', and the concert animations, the Judge is a giant worm for most of the song until his verse, at which point he transforms into a giant pair of buttocks (bigger than the marching hammers in "Waiting for the Worms"). A prosecutor conducts the early portions, which consist of the antagonists explaining their actions, intercut with Pink's refrain, "Crazy/Toys in the attic, I am crazy". The culmination of the trial is the judge's sentence for Pink "to be exposed before your peers" whereupon he orders Pink to "Tear down the wall!"
As Waters sings the dialogue for each character he transitions into different accents including: upper-class British dialect (the prosecutor and judge), Scottish accent (the schoolmaster) and Northern English accent (Pink's mother). For the character of Pink's wife he used his normal voice on the album and the original 1980-81 tour. However, in his solo 2010-13 tour of ''The Wall'' he portrays the wife with a distinctively French accent.
This and the following song "Outside the Wall" are the only two songs on the album which the story is seen from an outsider's perspective, most notably through the three antagonists of "The Trial", even though it is all in Pink's mind. The song ends with the sound of a wall being demolished amid chants of "Tear down the wall!", marking the destruction of Pink's metaphorical wall.
