Song Choice & Interpretation

Lyrics for our song with Brief Analysis- Pink Floyd - Brain Damage:

The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.

The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

 My interpretation of this song is that it contains themes of insanity, entrapment and death which is not common in many songs today. I feel the song speaks about a person with a voice or person in his head that is making him go insane. Throughout I feel the main character tries to fight the voices in his head eg: "Got to keep the loonies on the path" (meaning got to stay in control of myself). He eventually, it seems loses to the voices/person in his head and either goes insane or commits suicide. And in this case '...the dark side of the moon...', which is repeated throughout is either a mental health hospital or death. I would like to show this interpretation in my music video as doing this will help the viewer understand Pink Floyd's lyrics and its intentions better in the song.
