Pink Floyd's, "Brain Damage"
The Lyrics:
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me
Why:
It makes you paranoid. There's something about the choice of words that makes it really unnerving and it makes you paranoid. ''There's someone in my head but it's not me'' gives me chills.

Pink Floyd's, "Comfortably Numb"
The Lyrics:
Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me,
Is there anyone home?
Come on now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well, I can ease your pain,
And get you on your feet again.
Relax,
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts,
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding,
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves,
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child, I had a fever,
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again,
I can't explain, you would not understand,
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Okay,
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more AHHH,
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show,
Come on, it's time to go...
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me,
Is there anyone home?
Come on now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well, I can ease your pain,
And get you on your feet again.
Relax,
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts,
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding,
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves,
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child, I had a fever,
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again,
I can't explain, you would not understand,
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Okay,
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more AHHH,
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show,
Come on, it's time to go...
Why:
This song is about Pink from The Wall's album confrontation with a doctor who gives him something to help him perform. It's pretty creepy.

Pink Floyd's, "Hey You"
The Lyrics:
It was only a fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried, he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried, he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
Why:
worms...brain...eww...

Pink Floyd's, "One of These Days"
The Lyrics:
One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
Why:

Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks.
They're going to send you back to Mother in a card board box!

Why:
This is why you should never kiss on a first date! Now, if you want a big surprise, turn up the volume REAL LOUD at the ending lyrics ; YOU BETTER RUN! Holy Mackerel!!!....do you know what he is doing!?!

Pink Floyd's, "The Trial"
The Lyrics:
(Whole song, but particularly)
Good morning, Worm your honour.
The crown will plainly show the prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed, showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature.
This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!
(later)
Crazy, toys in the attic, I am crazy,
Truly gone fishing.
They must have taken my marbles away!
(later)
The evidence before the court is incontrovertible,
There's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law.
The way you made them suffer, your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to defecate.
(Go on, Judge, shit on him!)
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers.
Tear down the wall!
Good morning, Worm your honour.
The crown will plainly show the prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed, showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature.
This will not do.
Call the schoolmaster!
(later)
Crazy, toys in the attic, I am crazy,
Truly gone fishing.
They must have taken my marbles away!
(later)
The evidence before the court is incontrovertible,
There's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law.
The way you made them suffer, your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to defecate.
(Go on, Judge, shit on him!)
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers.
Tear down the wall!
Why:
The animation in the video is scary. Roger Waters incorporates various characters of the main character's life as The Wall’s protagonist puts himself on trial. The verdict conducted by the exaggerated and personified bricks ultimately orders his wall be torn down, when he judges himself both responsible for the making of the wall as well as capable of reconnecting with the outside world.
