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.
She was standing at the station
Small town suitcase in her hand
There were dreams she found inside her
That no one cared to understand
She never talks about her childhood
So much past to leave behind
She's so scared to go
But still she says goodbye
When you walk on that road
You walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When your only hope
Is to find a home
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
The great unknown
Born and raised in poverty
Daddy died when he was young
All the fears that raged inside him
His spirit needs to overcome
Each day he tears down the reflection
Of who he used to be
And with a little luck
He'll rise eventually
When you walk that road
When you walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When your only hope
Is to find a home
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
The great unknown
In the search of our salvation
Relentlessly we climb
Just looking for a reason
In creation's grand design
If patience is a virtue
Then let us humbly begin
We'll be here waiting
'Til our ship comes sailing in
When you walk that road
When you walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When your only hope
Is to find a home
You're just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
In the great unknown
Don't want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul
Searching for the road
Looking for a home
In the great unknown
Don't want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul
Searching for the road
Looking for a home
In the great unknown
Don't want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul
Patience, virtue, identify, soul
Small town suitcase in her hand
There were dreams she found inside her
That no one cared to understand
She never talks about her childhood
So much past to leave behind
She's so scared to go
But still she says goodbye
When you walk on that road
You walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When your only hope
Is to find a home
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
The great unknown
Born and raised in poverty
Daddy died when he was young
All the fears that raged inside him
His spirit needs to overcome
Each day he tears down the reflection
Of who he used to be
And with a little luck
He'll rise eventually
When you walk that road
When you walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When your only hope
Is to find a home
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
The great unknown
In the search of our salvation
Relentlessly we climb
Just looking for a reason
In creation's grand design
If patience is a virtue
Then let us humbly begin
We'll be here waiting
'Til our ship comes sailing in
When you walk that road
When you walk alone
Just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
When your only hope
Is to find a home
You're just an undiscovered soul
In the great unknown
In the great unknown
Don't want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul
Searching for the road
Looking for a home
In the great unknown
Don't want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul
Searching for the road
Looking for a home
In the great unknown
Don't want to walk through life
An undiscovered soul
Patience, virtue, identify, soul

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song means so much for me--all his lyrics are so soulful I think they pretty much touch everyone.
