It was written as a concept album on how people end up going insane and what leads up to insanity. It was roughly inspired by the original lead singer Syd Barrett who left the band shortly after the release of their first album due to mental illness, he had mental problems mixed with heavy LSD and other drug usage which led him to eventually lose his mind and excommunicate himself from the world. Alot of Pink Floyd albums are about insanity, mostly attributed to Barrett's mental instability.
