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.
Oh, baby come close to me
Let me love you
Oh, baby come close to me
Let me feel you
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Well now mutually, mentally molested children of a mother
Mutually, mentally molested children of sin
Oh no, the ever so popular beating that took you under
Oh no, the ever so popular beating that broke your skin
Free thinkers are dangerous
Blame hate for fate's seed
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Well you need the ones you love, love the ones that you need
Need the ones you love and love the ones you bleed
Lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
Lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
Free thinkers are dangerous
Blame hate for fate's seed
Die, die, die, die
Gonna let you mother fuckers die, gonna let you mother fuckers die
Gonna let you mother fuckers die, gonna let you mother fuckers die
Look at each other
Look at each other
Look at each other
Let me love you
Oh, baby come close to me
Let me feel you
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Look at each other, look at each other, look at each other
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Well now mutually, mentally molested children of a mother
Mutually, mentally molested children of sin
Oh no, the ever so popular beating that took you under
Oh no, the ever so popular beating that broke your skin
Free thinkers are dangerous
Blame hate for fate's seed
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Well you need the ones you love, love the ones that you need
Need the ones you love and love the ones you bleed
Lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
Lives rearranged and lives in my range, can you see?
Free thinkers are dangerous
Blame hate for fate's seed
Die, die, die, die
Gonna let you mother fuckers die, gonna let you mother fuckers die
Gonna let you mother fuckers die, gonna let you mother fuckers die
Look at each other
Look at each other
Look at each other

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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."

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
i think this song mite have to do with a child being brought to life and being brought up in this cruel world and being driven crazy becuase of it, charles manson being the example
the way this song starts out is like - o baby come close to me, then it says look at each other a couple times as in symbolizing that a mother and her baby being close and loving each other, and over the years as he grows up they look at each other, which is why they repeat it so many times, and finally GO AWAY. then it says how the childs mind is going mad with thoughts of being menrally abused by his family and religion (sin). both these things fill his mind and conscience with guilt. he is hten being beaten maybe not physically but in everyday life the child now faces the BS of the world other than his family problems and hte stress his religion puts on him, so it is breaking his skin. the beating is popular since it happnes to everyone and it took u under since u are living under it. then it is saying that in this world everyone follows somethign adn is put into thier minds that free thinkers are dangerous and just need to follow the government and religion and wat not. then it says u can blame hate for wat will end up happening to u and ur fate since the world is full of hate.
now the child is going insane and again taking all this in is saying GO AWAY, and doesnt want his head filled with the BS that society does to u (the child is the example of every human in society)
the song then goes on to say that the child needs the ones he loves and loves hte ones he needs, pretty self explanitory, then he says love the ones you bleed, i am not sure exactly but i think this mite mean, u should also love those in pain but not jus those u know, but in todays day no one gives a shit about anyone, so it is saying that u should give a shit about everyone, even those suffering. (note they see these lines softly)
he then goes on to say lives rearanged and lives in my range, saying that lives change, people are constantly havin their lives changed painfully by hte way society is. the boy grew up innocnet but as he got older he became sad and abused and crazy. so his live was rearnged, and its saying to us CAN U SEE, CAN U SEE WATS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF SOCIETY. its also saying could u possibly breath in a place like this, where we destroy each other. then in the end it goes to say WHY WHY WHY, wats the reason, why must we be this way.
in the end the whole, gonna let u mother fuckers die, again shows how cruel we are, we are gonna let u all mother fuckers die. we dont give a shit, people suffer and die all the time and we let them, we dont care and do nothing and its our fault for making society the way it is.
in the end its asking us to look at each other but htis time it doesnt mean a child growing up lookin at his mopther until she abuses him one way or another. its saying look at each other. person to person. look at wat we made each other to be, look at wat we did to society
this song started about an average boy being damaged as he grew up by his family, religion, society but the went on and said society has been damaged by itself in general, and sill asks why, and take a good look at each other
