Re: The Meaning of Dark Side, finally!!!!

Hi

now i am a fan of dark side of the moon, its probably my fav album of all time, but i am still having difficulty figuring out wat most of the songs mean.

I know the whole album is about the pressures of modern day life and how they lead to insanity, so dont reply if your only going to say that.

So far i figured out the Following:
On the Run is about travel etc, which is very obvious.
Time is about growing old.
The Great Gig in the Sky is about the fear of death, and i my fav song on the album. Money is obvious.
Us and Them, now i think this is either about war or, as i read somewere once, its a comparison between Britain (or the whole world) and the USA, and how screwed up it all is, or maybe both.
Brain Damage is sort of about Syd Barret and his state of mind and also about turning into a lunatic, and Eclipse is diffenitly about this, counting down all the things that can also make u go nuts.

As for Speak to Me, Breathe in the Air and Any Colour you like i have no real idea at all, well i do its just they are not real ideas and would prefer other peoples opinions before i make my own judgement.

these are all my ideas so far on the albums individual songs, so please tell me want you think about mine and what yours are as well.

Thank you, from the Silk Shirted Hobo
