  A lunatic doesn&apos;t know he&apos;s crazy. He thinks he&apos;s normal and everyone else is abnormal.<br>&quot;Raise the blade... rearrange me til I&apos;m sane.&quot; That appears to be a lobotomy.

  I listen to Dark side of the Moon when I want to LISTEN to Dark side of the Moon. Actually sit down and listen. It&apos;s too good to be some random background music. It deserves your attention.

  Key references in &quot;Brain Damage&quot; regarding Syd Barrett:<br>&quot;And if the band you&apos;re in starts playing different tunes&quot;: A direct reference to the late 1960s, when Barrett&apos;s mental health issues caused him to play different songs than the rest of the band during live performances.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;The lunatic is on the grass&quot;: According to Roger Waters on Genius, this refers to the lawn at King&apos;s College, Cambridge, but serves as a metaphor for Barrett&apos;s isolation.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;You raise the blade, you make the change&quot;: Often interpreted as a reference to frontal lobotomies, a metaphor for the severe medical treatment and changes Barrett underwent.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;I&apos;ll see you on the dark side of the moon&quot;: This signifies a connection with Barrett, implying that Waters sees him in his state of madness.<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;There&apos;s someone in my head but it&apos;s not me&quot;: Represents the loss of identity experienced during mental illness

  Pink Floyd does make you think about life. The older you get, the deeper their music hits.

  Just a couple of bits of info to help...Lots of the lyrics are about mental illness because Syd Barrett the founder of the band had to step away from music due to drugs and mental illness. Syd was the primary song writer for much of the early albums, so Roger Waters stepped in (with the others as well). So Dark Side was also the transition between Syds time and Rogers &quot;and if the band you are in starts playing different tunes...&quot; They had hoped to keep Syd active writing and producing while David Gilmour would take his place on stage. It was not possible.

  Pink Floyd&apos;s The Dark Side of the Moon famously spent 741 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 chart in the US between 1973 and 1988. Including later, non-consecutive appearances on the Top Pop Catalog Chart, the album has totaled over 1,500 weeks on Billboard charts as of 2006

  Have a go at Wish you were here next, a homage to Syd Barrett, an incredibly talented founder member of the group who sadly was lost to mental health and substance abuse issues. Stay safe you lovely people ❤️
