Music professor Mitchell Morris interprets "The Wall" and another song from Leftoverture, "Carry On Wayward Son", as examples of "turning the Romantic artist into a prophetic visionary who can be heard in terms of evangelical Protestantism.[1] (The Wall (Kansas song), 2023)

Music journalist Gary Graff described "The Wall" as a power ballad.[2] "The Wall" consists of three verses.[1] According to Morris, the first verse "[sets] the visionary problem", the second verse "[amplifies] the emotional state of the lyrical first person" and the last verse "[predicts] the satisfactory resolution."[1] (The Wall (Kansas song), 2023)

The song includes an instrumental intro, as well as instrumental sections between the last two verses and the end of the song.[1] Morris describes the chord progressions and figuration and being neo-baroque, helping to convey its "grandiose inspiration."[1] (The Wall (Kansas song), 2023)

I was sure I heard harpsichord in there! I did! I did! I DID heard a harpsichord! And then there is the recurring iconography. The bearded explorer. The schooner falling off the edge of the flat earth.
