The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
an extreme solution
no fossil fuels
mimicking
exhaust rattles
troublesome
a madman's vast direct
iron grooved world
primary state
average distance
closer to the sun
draws a comet nearer
to a complex destruction
a spectre so violent in its views
lies impervious
altitude
has a tendency under pressure
to reveal its identity
gaping hole
bright star
penetration
blindfold
reliance
wrinkles
in the cloth of time
unity among
such a poor existence
in this third world
resistance should be used
civil disobedience
central pivot
revolving
heated combustion
back to the origin
of it all
all of it no
unwarranted fear courage
shown the white line on
the ball we live on
deserted streets
hallucinated the bursted species
abnormal conditions
deep sentiment
for repulsive power
nations knows
immense populace
ingenuity
and progress
never progressed
out of the sun
all experiments prove
not need
the established greed
and pain inflicted
on the animal model
still nothing
no cure
the ravaged instinct
silent waking
to a chemical perversion
wartime underground imperfect
plotting grows the seeds of time
no fossil fuels
mimicking
exhaust rattles
troublesome
a madman's vast direct
iron grooved world
primary state
average distance
closer to the sun
draws a comet nearer
to a complex destruction
a spectre so violent in its views
lies impervious
altitude
has a tendency under pressure
to reveal its identity
gaping hole
bright star
penetration
blindfold
reliance
wrinkles
in the cloth of time
unity among
such a poor existence
in this third world
resistance should be used
civil disobedience
central pivot
revolving
heated combustion
back to the origin
of it all
all of it no
unwarranted fear courage
shown the white line on

out of the sun

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.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
too bad the message didn't get across to the masses back then.
