Perhaps Roger Waters' preferred interpretation is the most obvious, since in a 1973 interview he said "I often think that the best ideas are the most obvious ones". He should agree with this opinion about the final lines of Opel:

After a while it seems as plain as the nose on your face that he must have been addressing himself in these lines, and it will give you the shivers.

Curiously, Roger Waters used a rather "reflexive" second-person in "Echoes", with the line "And I am you and what I see is me", and in the 1982 film The Wall, when the protagonist sees himself as a child.
