 * //The Dark Side of the Moon//'s themes include conflict, greed, the passage of time and [|mental illness],**
 * Each side of the album is a continuous piece of music. The five tracks on each side reflect various stages of human life, beginning and ending with a heartbeat, exploring the nature of the human experience** and (according to Waters) "empathy".[|[][|8][|]] "[|Speak to Me]" and "Breathe" together **stress the mundane and futile elements of life** that accompany the **ever-present threat of madness, and the importance of living one's own life**—"Don't be afraid to care".
