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.
Open your eyes
Put it in drive
Get on the road and just go
City lights
Turn the tree lines
And National Park signs
Mountains approach
With small winds in the road
And the air turns to falling snow
Miles away or just up ahead
It doesn't matter what
Any of us is looking for
We'll never find it, because
It's not even there
High beams showing
Falling rock warning
Construction work, slowing
The engine blazes
The elevation raises
The dynamite walls contain us
Everyone's watching
For animals crossing
Through the part of the glass
That's defrosted
Miles away or just up ahead
It doesn't matter what
Any of us is looking for
We'll never find it, because
It's not even there
Open your eyes
Put it in drive
Get on the road and just go
City lights
Turn the tree lines
And National Park signs
The mountains approach
With small winds in the road
And the air turns to falling snow
The engine blazes
The elevation raises
But the dynamite walls contain us
Put it in drive
Get on the road and just go
City lights
Turn the tree lines
And National Park signs
Mountains approach
With small winds in the road
And the air turns to falling snow
Miles away or just up ahead
It doesn't matter what
Any of us is looking for
We'll never find it, because
It's not even there
High beams showing
Falling rock warning
Construction work, slowing
The engine blazes
The elevation raises
The dynamite walls contain us
Everyone's watching
For animals crossing
Through the part of the glass
That's defrosted
Miles away or just up ahead
It doesn't matter what
Any of us is looking for
We'll never find it, because
It's not even there
Open your eyes
Put it in drive
Get on the road and just go
City lights
Turn the tree lines
And National Park signs
The mountains approach
With small winds in the road
And the air turns to falling snow
The engine blazes
The elevation raises
But the dynamite walls contain us

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/
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.
you get this sort of gorgeous scenery when you head out from toronto to hamilton on the 401. or heading toward the escarpment. and you get this sort of feeling too...
