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.
To what do I owe this gift my friend?
My life, my love, my soul?
I've been dancing with the devil way too long
And it's making me grow old
Making me grow old
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Run in fields of thyme
Where there's no reason left to hide
No reason to hide
What are you going to do with your gift dear child?
Give life, give love, give soul?
Divided is the one who dances
For the soul is so exposed
So exposed
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Run in fields of time
Where there's no reason left to hide
No reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Run in fields of time
Where there's no reason left to hide
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide
No reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
No reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
No reason to hide
My life, my love, my soul?
I've been dancing with the devil way too long
And it's making me grow old
Making me grow old
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Run in fields of thyme
Where there's no reason left to hide
No reason to hide
What are you going to do with your gift dear child?
Give life, give love, give soul?
Divided is the one who dances
For the soul is so exposed
So exposed
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Run in fields of time
Where there's no reason left to hide
No reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Run in fields of time
Where there's no reason left to hide
Let's leave, oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide
No reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
No reason to hide
There is no reason to hide
No reason to hide

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
I think these lyrics are wrong..I always thought it was"...lets leave all this and get away..." This is a great song and is very inspirational. "there is no reason to hide"
