Darker Side of the Moon Lyrics

When you see me standing
I'm here 'cause I didn't walk alone
There are pieces of you landing, waiting here,
Somehow to make me whole

'Cause you... you're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadow,
Leaving me to shine... shine... shine
You're the one who carried me through
Held me in the sky
Leaving me to shine... shine...

Anytime you pushed me,
When it felt like too much, I know it made me grow
Looking from a distance at a crescent moon,
Who would really know, that you...

You're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadow
Leaving me to shine... shine... shine
You're the one who carried me through
Held me in the sky,
Leaving me to shine

From the stretches of the world,
And more perspective than I wished for
You taught me that there is more than what a pleasant chance
You never questioned worth
You made a path wherever I'd go
Giving far more than I asked for
Oh, you...

Darker side of the moon, always in the shadow
Shine... shine... shine...
You're the darker side of the moon, always in the shadow
Shine, shine shine
You're the one who carries me thrpugh
You held me in the sky!
Leaving me to shine... shine.... shine....

When you see me standing
I'm here 'cause I didn't walk alone
There are pieces of you landing, waiting here,
Somehow to make me whole

'Cause you... you're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadow, 
Leaving me to shine... shine... shine
You're the one who carried me through
Held me in the sky
Leaving me to shine... shine...

Anytime you pushed me,
When it felt like too much, I know it made me grow
Looking from a distance at a crescent moon,
Who would really know, that you...

You're the darker side of the moon
Always in the shadow
Leaving me to shine... shine... shine
You're the one who carried me through
Held me in the sky,
Leaving me to shine

From the stretches of the world,
And more perspective than I wished for
You taught me that there is more than what a pleasant chance 
You never questioned worth
You made a path wherever I'd go
Giving far more than I asked for
Oh, you...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

To me this is a song for those people who support you and love you and give you strength... even if it means sacrificing some part of themselves to do that. I love this song because it reminds me of my mom... she does so much for me, in order for me to succeed in life... she truly does "hold me in the sky" and "leave me to shine"...... i like the analogy because it's so real... often times when u look at a crescent moon, u don't think about the rest of it... all you worry about is the beauty of what you see... but regardless, the "darker side" is always there, always supporting...
