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 never thought that I was strange
I always had something to do to think about
They say that some things never change
Well I guess they do
'Cause I never thought I was strange
So I maybe off the wall
Just a little bit
I may seem to be unfriendly
But that's not it
Well I never thought that I was strange
(I never thought that I was strange)
I always had something to do to think about
They say that some things never change
Well I guess they do
'Cause I never thought I was strange
Strange looks from everybody around
Well I don't care cos I'm not fooling around
I don't know what makes me different and I don't care
Maybe it's not my problem, but why do they stare?
So I maybe off the wall
Just a little bit
I may seem to be unfriendly
But that's not it
Well I never thought that I was strange
(I never thought that I was strange)
I always had something to do to think about
They say that some things never change
Well I guess they do
'Cause I never thought I was strange
Sometimes I stop. Think for a while.
I don't know what makes me different
And I don't care
Maybe it's not my problem
Why do they stare?
So I maybe off the wall
Just a little bit
I may seem to be unfriendly
But that's not it
Well I never thought that I was strange
(I never thought that I was strange)
I always had something to do to think about
They say that some things never change
Well I guess they do
'Cause I never thought I was strange
Well I guess they do
'Cause I never thought I was strange
I always had something to do to think about
They say that some things never change
Well I guess they do
'Cause I never thought I was strange
So I maybe off the wall
Just a little bit
I may seem to be unfriendly
But that's not it
Well I never thought that I was strange
(I never thought that I was strange)
I always had something to do to think about
They say that some things never change
Well I guess they do
'Cause I never thought I was strange
Strange looks from everybody around
Well I don't care cos I'm not fooling around
I don't know what makes me different and I don't care
Maybe it's not my problem, but why do they stare?
So I maybe off the wall
Just a little bit
I may seem to be unfriendly
But that's not it
Well I never thought that I was strange
(I never thought that I was strange)
I always had something to do to think about
They say that some things never change
Well I guess they do
'Cause I never thought I was strange
Sometimes I stop. Think for a while.
I don't know what makes me different
And I don't care
Maybe it's not my problem
Why do they stare?

Well I guess they do
'Cause I never thought I was strange

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
