Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon Large Glass Ashtray
The Dark Side of the Moon explores the nature of the human experience and according to Waters, "empathy".
For example: "Speak to Me / Breathe" is about birth and being a child with new earthly experiences; "Time" deals with growing older and the overwhelmingly fast approach of death - youth being gone before one even realizes it; "The Great Gig in the Sky" explores thoughts of religion and death; "Money" mocks greed and consumerism, with tongue-in-cheek lyrics and wealth-related sound effects; "Us and Them" addresses ethnocentrism, conflict and the belief that a person's self is "always in the right"; "Brain Damage" looks at mental illness and whether "insanity" is only relative, and growing too old to be who one once was; and "Eclipse" ends the album with a grand statement about free will and causality.
