Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
I've seen your face before,
I've known you all my life.
And though it's new,
your image cuts me like a knife.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home, to stay.
The neon from your eyes is splashing into mine.
It's so familiar in a way I can't define.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home, to stay.
And though this is awful speedy,
We needn't bother sleeping,
All we might say is understood.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home, to stay.
The fierceness of my feelings,
Rocks me like a war.
It's good to know we won't be strangers anymore.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home, to stay.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home, to stay.
I've known you all my life.
And though it's new,
your image cuts me like a knife.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home, to stay.
The neon from your eyes is splashing into mine.
It's so familiar in a way I can't define.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home, to stay.
And though this is awful speedy,
We needn't bother sleeping,
All we might say is understood.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home, to stay.
The fierceness of my feelings,
Rocks me like a war.
It's good to know we won't be strangers anymore.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home, to stay.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home.
And now I'm home, to stay.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I, Clementine Hall, wrote "Splash 1." Some of the lyrics attributed to it are comically incorrect. I've corrected two lines as follows: "Though this is our first meeting [not "though this is awful speedy"], we needn't bother speaking" [not bother "sleeping"] and "the fierceness of our feelings rocks me like a roar" [not "war"].
@txmuse thank you! An honor
