So maybe now The Dish and My Best Spoon
Are playing Hide and Seek just behind The Moon
Waiting there until it's time to show
Spring is like that now
Far beneath the snow
Hiding in The Place Where The Lost Things Go
Are playing Hide and Seek just behind The Moon
Waiting there until it's time to show
Spring is like that now
Far beneath the snow
Hiding in The Place Where The Lost Things Go

Waters wrote the lyrics on the road for the "Brain Damage" / "Eclipse" closing sequence as he felt the whole piece was "unfinished".[4] The final words sung on the song and, indeed the album The Dark Side of the Moon, directs the listener, "and everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon." Waters explained the meaning of these words as well as the entire song by asserting:
I don't see it as a riddle. The album uses the sun and the moon as symbols; the light and the dark; the good and the bad; the life force as opposed to the death force. I think it's a very simple statement saying that all the good things life can offer are there for us to grasp, but that the influence of some dark force in our natures prevents us from seizing them. The song addresses the listener and says that if you, the listener, are affected by that force, and if that force is a worry to you, well I feel exactly the same too. The line 'I'll see you on the dark side of the moon' is me speaking to the listener, saying, 'I know you have these bad feelings and impulses because I do too, and one of the ways I can make direct contact with you is to share with you the fact that I feel bad sometimes.[5]The doorman of Abbey Road Studios, Gerry O'Driscoll, is heard speaking at 1:37, answering the question: "What is 'The Dark Side of The Moon'?" with: "There is no Dark Side in The Moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all Dark. The Only Thing that makes it look light is The Sun."
Let's Think About This -
The Sun is Male, The Moon is Female
