“I just discovered these lyrics below in the song The Trial on The Wall by PF. I have rarely listened to that album – itu0026#39;s bleak and ugly-but someone quoted this chorus.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am infatuated with the Dark Side of the Rainbow mashup of DSM with the Wizard of Oz. We fans want to know how that resonance happened. Accidentally, no doubt. Part of the human cultural consciousness.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHere is the earliest connection I am aware of that Roger Waters was thinking about and quoting from WoO, written around 1977. He repeats u0026quot;over the rainbowu0026quot; twice.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNote also the connotation here of u0026quot;over the rainbowu0026quot; to u0026quot;crazy / insaneu0026quot;. The idea that Dorothy was having a mental breakdown / was crazy (like Syd Barrett and Pink and maybe Roger) is the theme that links all of this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Bassist Roger Waters conceived The Wall during Pink Floydu0026#39;s 1977 In the Flesh tour, modelling the character of Pink after himself and Pink Floydu0026#39;s former songwriter / founder Syd Barrett.u0026quot;u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo: Dorothy = Roger Waters = Pink = Sydu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe rainbow here literally goes u0026quot;overu0026quot; the wall!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFrom: The Trial on The WallnCrazynOver the rainbow, I am crazynBars in the windownThere must have been a door there in the wallnWhen I came innCrazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy.”
