Dark Side of the Moon
Enestro vs Bastian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try a run, try a hide
Escape your only truth, for a while
Live the past, create a picture, it won't last
A million colours to a lie, it won't last
(x2)
When the sun is cold and black
When you wanna scream and shout
And the record plays the dark side of the moon
Brighter days, on a distant shore
You realized it's steep, to the top
Never fight, a never win reality
A million colours to a lie, that will fade
(x2)
When the sun is cold and black
When you wanna scream and shout
And the record plays the dark side of the moon
(x4)
So good. let me lose myself.
(x3)
When the sun is cold and black




When you wanna scream and shout
And the record plays the darkside of the moon

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Enestro vs Bastian's song Dark Side of the Moon draws attention to the themes of escapism, the longing for a better tomorrow, and the futility of living in a bubble of lies. The first stanza starts with an invitation to try and escape reality, even if it's just for a moment. The song acknowledges the power of creating an alternate reality that feels safe, but warns that it is only temporary. The line "A million colours to a lie, it won't last" is a reminder that no matter how many layers of illusion one creates for themselves, the truth will eventually catch up.


The second stanza is more reflective, hinting at a sense of regret for the time and energy spent living in a false reality. The line "Brighter days, on a distant shore" suggests there is a better life waiting for those who can find the courage to explore outside of their comfort zone. The song also highlights that the reality can be a non-negotiable entity, and trying to fight it may be fruitless. The ultimate goal is to reach a place where the truth can be accepted, regardless of how unsightly it may seem. The repetition of the line "when the sun is cold and black, and you want to scream and shout" may signify the frustration of being trapped in a life that one doesn't want, and the Dark Side of the Moon serving as both an escape and reminder that there is always a way out.
