Dark Side of the Moon
Ernest vs. Bastian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Escape your only truth, for a while
Live the past, create a picture, it won't last
A million colors to a lie, it won't last
When the sun is cold and black
When you wanna scream and shout
And the record plays the dark side of the moon
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 colors to a lie, that will fade
When the sun is cold and black
When you wanna scream and shout
And the record plays the dark side of the moon
When the sun is cold and black
When you wanna scream and shout
And the record plays the dark side of the moon
So good... let me lose myself...
So good... let me lose myself...
So good... let me lose myself...
So good... let me lose myself...
When the sun is cold and black
When you wanna scream and shout
And the record plays the darkside of the moon
When the sun is cold and black
When you wanna scream and shout
And the record plays the darkside of the moon
When the sun is cold and black
When you wanna scream and shout
And the record plays the darkside of the moon
"Dark Side of the Moon" by Ernest vs. Bastian is a song that conveys the idea of escaping reality temporarily. The lyrics suggest that the truth can sometimes be painful or overwhelming, and suggests trying to forget it for a moment. The line "try a run, try a hide, escape your only truth for a while" indicates that it's okay to want to detach from reality at times. It suggests living in the past, even though it is temporary and won't last. There's a recognition that the things we create, things like pictures or memories, are often lies or exaggerations, as suggested by "a million colors to a lie, it won't last."
The chorus, "When the sun is cold and black, when you wanna scream and shout, and the record plays the dark side of the moon" signals that the song is about finding solace in music. The words "when the sun is cold and black" suggest a time of despair, or a lack of hope, and music is the only way to alleviate that. The repetition of the phrase "when you wanna scream and shout" shows that the song is about releasing emotion. The line "the dark side of the moon" is a reference to Pink Floyd's album of the same name, which carries themes of escapism and isolation. The phrase suggests that the calm and darkness of the moon might bring some relief to one's mind.
The song's message is clear: it's okay to take a break from reality, to dream, and allow oneself to escape one's thoughts, even if it's temporary. They suggest that music can be a great source of solace and that songs like "the dark side of the moon" can help alleviate one's pain or troubles.
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 colors to a lie, it won't last
Avoid dealing with reality for a moment, pretend like everything is alright. Recall past memories, but understand they are fleeting and often a distortion of the truth.
When the sun is cold and black When you wanna scream and shout And the record plays the dark side of the moon
When everything seems dark and impossible, and the only comfort can be found in the melancholic sounds of Pink Floyd's album.
Brighter days, on a distant shore You realized it's steep, to the top Never fight, a never win reality A million colors to a lie, that will fade
A hopeful future awaits, but the journey to overcome one's current situation is difficult. Accept that reality cannot be fought or won, and what we perceive may not be true or lasting.
So good... let me lose myself... So good... let me lose myself... So good... let me lose myself... So good... let me lose myself...
It feels liberating to ignore reality and live within the comfort of one's own fantasies.
When the sun is cold and black When you wanna scream and shout And the record plays the darkside of the moon When the sun is cold and black When you wanna scream and shout And the record plays the darkside of the moon When the sun is cold and black When you wanna scream and shout And the record plays the darkside of the moon
Repeating the earlier theme that when everything seems dark and impossible, and the only comfort can be found in the melancholic sounds of Pink Floyd's album.
