A man's final descent into insanity. The whole album itself was posing the question "Can everyday life make you go insane?". The themes expressed in Time, Money, Us and Them, and so on all lead up to this when this normal person finally goes insane from his normal life. And for the record, I've never heard anywhere that DSotM was about Syd. Wish You Were Here was of course. All I've ever heard about this album is that the members of Pink Floyd wanted to know if everday life can make you go insane so they stopped people on the street and asked them questions, then they put them on the album. Trivia note: Paul and Linda McCartney were among those interviewed but they weren't put into the album because they thought that they sounded "too average".
@BrainDamage Paul and Linda weren't included because they weren't authentic. They were giving responses to try and please instead of just being honest.

@BrainDamage The part "And if the band your in starts playing different tunes", is definitely about Syd. That's what he would do, be playing something completely different then the rest of them.
