Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" Lyrics Quiz

Answer: Brain Damage

Waters wrote the lyrics and the music and sang on this track. It is the second to last song on "Dark Side of the Moon," a powerful anti-climax to the album, the last line of the song being, "I'll see you on the dark side of the moon."

Answer: Breathe

The lyrics on this track were written by Waters, the music was written by Waters, Gilmour, and Wright, and the vocals were sung by Gilmour. "Breathe" is the second track on "Dark Side of the Moon," and holds all of the highest lyrical quality that is expected from Pink Floyd.

Answer: Us And Them

Waters wrote the lyrics for "Us And Them," Waters and Wright wrote the music, and the vocals were sung by both Waters and Gilmour. "Us And Them" is an interesting song full of symbolism. It was originally meant to be part of a major sequence at the end of the movie "American Beauty" but sadly was edited out.

Answer: Time

The lyrics were written by Waters, the music by Mason, Waters, Wright, and Gilmour, and the vocals were sung by Gilmour and Wright. Time is one of the high points of the album, pointing out how short life is. The symbolism in this line can be interpreted in many ways, my personal take being that you try to be as fast as you once were, but there is always something natural to prove to you how you are slowing down in the world.

Answer: Eclipse

"Eclipse" was written and sung by Waters. One of my personal favorite tracks, "Eclipse" is the last song on "Dark Side of the Moon." It continues part of the theme of "Brain Damage," singing of how everything you do and "Everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon."

Answer: The Great Gig In The Sky

The music on this track was written by Wright and the vocals sung by Clare Torry, the soloist and background vocalist on the album. It is mostly an instrumental and vocal track, except for this clip of someone's voice at the beginning.

Answer: Money

The lyrics and the music were written by Waters, but the song was sung by Gilmour. Money is a lighter song than most of the songs on the track, with the characteristic cash register sounds at the beginning.

Answer: Speak To Me

The music on this track was credited to Mason. These words, spoken, are the only words heard on this opening track of "Dark Side of the Moon." The spoken words with odd altering effects are a constant theme on this album, giving it a more dream-like feel.

Answer: Us And Them

On "Us And Them", a brief interlude gives us this spoken clip. It sort of works to illustrate the brutality of the song in words, and the fighting theme that's present throughout the song.

Answer: Time

These are the closing words to the song "Time", an unsettling ending with the metaphor of the song ending probably symbolizing the ending of life when the person who was living that life still had so much more left to do.
