Dark Side of the Sun
Is there a way out of this?
If there is
I don't see it
Can Heaven and Hell coexist?
Not when both battle for dominance
Brush back my tears
And he said,
"Girl, we have to soldier on
Yes, girl
Even when we don't feel strong."
So how many young men have to lay down
Their life and their love of their woman
For some sick promise of a Heaven?
Lies go back now to the garden
Even the four horses say,
"All bets are off."
We're on the dark side
Of the sun
We're on the dark side
Of the sun
Soon there'll be fast food on the moon
Painted in neon with "For Sale" signs up
You say, "I'm more afraid of what
Tomorrow could bring to us."
Brush back my tears
And he said,
"Girl, we have to soldier on
Yes, girl
Even when we don't feel strong."
Bushes burn there on the mountain
Abraham and Ishmael
Turn back the clock
I think this song is pretty straight forward in meaning. The metaphors of "dark side of the sun" and "bushes burn there on the mountain" and "soon there'll be fast food on the moon, painted in neon with 'for sale' signs up" are in a way saying that our Earth is slowly but surely dying and soon nature will turn against itself and who knows where anything will be anymore. It's a terrifying thought. War is not helping at all.
