10 Popular Songs That Hide Creepy Hidden Messages

3. Pink Floyd - Empty Spaces

Ok interesting one for you here as, on the face of it, the little message Pink Floyd snuck into Empty Spaces has just a slight touch of the ha has about it but, according to Pink Floyd fans, it’s actually a little bit sinister.

Ok so, The Wall is a concept album, I’ll just get that out of the way, and documents the life and times of the character Pink. Far from coming up so you better get this party started though, Pink has a very, very bad time with abandonment, isolation and, hallucinating that he’s a nazi… or something I don’t really quite understand it.

Anyway at the start of Side 2 Disc One the band sneak the phrase "congratulations, you've just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to Old Pink, care of the funny farm, Chalfont.”. Good, har har, very funny, but fans have speculated that is actually singer Syd Barrett slipping in a cry for help, prior to the mental breakdown he suffered before the release. Grim, if so.
