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 my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh, I guess I should have told her
I thought she knew
She said I took her for granted
That's the last thing I would do
Whoa, I'll never understand it
I thought she knew (I thought she knew)
I thought she knew my world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame, only myself to blame
I should've known, I should've known
A heart full of words left unspoken
Now that we're through
I'd sell my soul to have this silence broken
Oh, I thought she knew, I thought she knew (I thought she knew)
I thought she knew my world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame, only myself to blame
I should've known, I should've known
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true, whoa
I guess I should have told her
But I thought she knew (I thought she knew)
I thought she knew (I thought she knew)
I thought she knew (I thought she knew)
I thought that she knew
Happy ending come true
Oh, I guess I should have told her
I thought she knew
She said I took her for granted
That's the last thing I would do
Whoa, I'll never understand it
I thought she knew (I thought she knew)
I thought she knew my world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame, only myself to blame
I should've known, I should've known
A heart full of words left unspoken
Now that we're through
I'd sell my soul to have this silence broken
Oh, I thought she knew, I thought she knew (I thought she knew)
I thought she knew my world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame, only myself to blame
I should've known, I should've known
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true, whoa
I guess I should have told her
But I thought she knew (I thought she knew)
I thought she knew (I thought she knew)
I thought she knew (I thought she knew)
I thought that she knew

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
