Roger Waters: The line 'I'll see you on the dark side of the moon' is me speaking to the listener, saying 'I know you have these bad feelings and impulses , because I do too. And one of the ways I can make direct contact with you is to share the fact that I feel bad sometimes.'

Comment: The lines "the lunatic is in my head" and "there's someone in my head but it's not me" may refer to Syd Barrett and his bouts with schizophrenia. The line " And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes" was also directly inspired by Syd Barrett who saw Pink Floyd set off on a career of playing different songs.
