No the Wall has very little to do with the Berlin Wall, although they did play live at the Berlin Wall when it was torn down.
The wall album is soley about Pink Floyd's bassist/acoustic guitarist and vocal singer Roger Water's life. He wrote everything pretty much. It has to deal with the pyschological mind of people as they grow up. Watching the movie that came out with it helps a lot.
The movie is about our character named Pink. He sits in a hotel room, and his memories are flashed before him via the Wall songs. And each song/life event leads up to every "brick" in the wall. The wall is the wall that everybody builds up at one point and hermits themselves from society for numerous reasons. And slowly, everything comes to a trial with each event acting as witnesses, and the wall gets torn down. Hope that clarifies a bit.
