* Not exactly a Pink Floyd song, but Barrett's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEr6w7P44Nk Dark Globe]]" is both heartbreaking and terrifying. It's a SanitySlippageSong written by a man who was actually turning insane.

* Barrett's last song to be on a Floyd album, "Jugband Blues" from ''Saucerful of Secrets'', is a skin-crawling combination of SanitySlippageSong, [=Tearjerker=] and bitter EtTuBrute to the rest of the band. One of the eeriest things about it is the way it uses NonSequitur as an organising principle. The opening lines seem to be a [[SarcasmMode sarcastic]] TakeThat: "It's ''awfully'' considerate of you to think of me here / And I'm ''much'' obliged to you for [[WeUsedToBeFriends making it clear that I'm not here.]]" Then the song trips along in its part-cheerful, part-melancholy way for a while, one section lurching into another, until the band is drowned out by a parping brass band in a completely unrelated key, which in turn is replaced by just Barrett, strumming a guitar, sounding chillingly lonely, with the song cutting off abruptly on his very last word:

* "The Gnome", otherwise among the most lighthearted and silly of all their songs, has an eerie, somewhat MoodWhiplash-inducing bridge: The way an [[EchoingAcoustics overly reverbed]] Syd Barrett whispers the completely benign lyrics "Look at the sky / look at the river / isn't it good?" makes them sound oddly ominous.

** "Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up", the ''Zabriskie Point'' version of "Eugene", is even harsher and scarier.
* "Sheep" may also qualify as this. Halfway into the song, there is very eerie Hammond organ, followed by a corrupted version of Psalm 23 which could give you nightmares:
-->"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want\\
He makes me down to lie\\
Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by\\
With bright knives he releaseth my soul\\
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places\\
He converteth me to lamb cutlets\\
For lo, he hath great power and great hunger\\
When cometh the day we lowly ones\\
Through quiet reflection and great dedication\\
Master the art of karate\\
Lo, we shall rise up\\
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water."
* The whole of ''DarkSideOfTheMoon'' is so, so unsettling. "There's someone in my head... [[OhCrap but it's not me.]]"
** "[[SanitySlippageSong You raise the blade...you make the change...you rearrange me til I'm sane.]]" Good grief.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgvAwBDbuIo "ONE OF THESE DAYS, I'M GOING TO CUT YOU INTO LITTLE PIECES!!!"]]
* While "Welcome to the Machine" is a pretty dark song to begin with, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk6iI1Fh4VQ music video]] is just as disturbing as the animated scenes from "The Wall".
* Not exactly a Pink Floyd song, but Barrett's "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEr6w7P44Nk Dark Globe]]" is both [[TearJerker heartbreaking]] and terrifying. It's a SanitySlippageSong written by a man who was actually turning insane.
