Pink Floyd Lyrical Lore: What is the 'silent freeway' ?

Asked by gambitking (4206points) May 13th, 2009

Pink Floyd’s song “One of My Turns”, from the Wall album, contains the phrase “contemplate the ‘silent freeway’”. What is the ‘silent freeway’ ? For a bit of context in case you’re unfamiliar. A frightened groupie girl is running around his hotel room in horror from this crazed rock star who sarcastically asks if she’d like to ‘contemplate the silent freeway’.
