Top Comments of this video!! :3
Pink Floyd's use of the term "dark side of the moon" is very simply meant to be a metaphor for insanity. They were very deeply affected by the (at times) profound mental illness on their bandmate (Syd Barrett) and wrote/dedicated much of their most heralded material to him. Most of this album and Wish You Were Here were a tribute to him and reflected their sense of loss of him not being there with them. The song Shine On You Crazy Diamond is, IMO, their best track and is an example of their love for their missing brother.

The last line was provided by Gerry O'Driscoll, a doorman at Abbey Road studios where the album was recorded. He said it in response to the question “What is the ‘dark side of the moon’?”
His full answer was “There is no dark side of the moon really, matter of fact it’s all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun.”

The whole album is about one of the band members, Syd Barrett, descending into insanity from schizophrenia. The line from Brain Damage "and when the band You're in starts playing different tunes" actually happened on stage, as Syd was hearing different songs in his head than what the band was performing. Pink Floyd had two albums that were specifically about Syd's descent into madness, Dark Side of the Moon, about the vagaries of life leading to madness, and Wish You Were Here, a lament for the lost band member, which accuses the music industry of driving them all to madness.

This is how this album, "Dark Side of the Moon", ends. The heartbeat you hear during the fade-out is also how the album begins. Thus, demonstrating an endless cycle; the human condition replayed in every generation. This album is brilliantly profound.
