Is There Actually A Dark Side of the Moon?

I always thought “dark side of the moon” meant the side we don’t see, but didn’t think that it meant that there is a side that it always dark.

"There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun."

During solar eclipses, the moon casts a shadow, and since it always shows the same side to us, it's easy to reason that the other side is illuminated by the sun.

In the context of the album 'The Dark Side of The Moon' is a metaphor for what we now call mental illness, but at the time was referred to as lunacy, hence the lunar connection.

1:08 or you could've just told them to listen to the whole album,,,,final lyrics are literally "There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun."

"See? You should have taken out Pink Floyd, the way you took out Pluto...." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I was under the impression that the term "dark side of the moon" referred to the fact nobody had seen it until the advent of space exploration and "dark" meant it was unknown to us, like dark matter and dark energy.
