page 82  But Syd sings that he is trying to find someone, not something. However, that "you" may be addressed to a group of people from a particular place which is not his place, like Kafka's village. In a simplified interpretation, that group is Syd's audience. According to many commentators, Syd is trying to find himself, also because he has already used the pronoun "you" to refer to himself ("Vegetable man, where are you?"). Many other interpretations are possible, and who Syd addresses is anybody's guess, as well as the reasons for his possible reflexive use of the second-person, often seen in philosophical topics like the one in this interpretation:  In this final section of the song – perhaps the most wounded and wounding few minutes in his whole oeuvre – he simultaneously sings to himself, his lover, and his audience. And at the same time, he is singing beyond all this, to none of this; he sings in order not to think of himself, in order not to think at all, to rid himself of himself, and to achieve brief union with song. …

What is most significant, though, is not who or what is being addressed, but that the gesture towards the other is, once again, lacking in an external expression of depth of feeling. The other is necessary, but if the 'I' is an 'other', there is an extra figure between the 'you' and the 'I', so the seer (voyant) becomes merely a watcher (voyeur). — Matt Hetherington, "Syd Barrett's Threnodic Devotion"
