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.
Sometimes
You'll get second chance now
But sometimes
We won't make past the first of them
It makes me wonder
what you're looking at
with hazy eyes though cloudy skies
And it makes me wonder
Why things happen
the way they always do
So you would
Always find a way though
But sometimes
The only way to go is back
And so you're on your way again
Affectionate tonight
I love the way that you
Look in my eyes
So tell me
Why we had to come to this?
And we
Can't look past the point of this?
And why you
Say we can't even try
When you
Won't give me a first chance
You're looking
in my eyes tonight
And I know you know how I feel
I'm looking
in your eyes tonight
and I see exactly how you feel
I feel it
Exactly when you're holding me
And I felt it
When you kissed me too
And I know that you felt it too
Sometimes
We get a second chance
But sometimes
It's probably better that we didn't
You'll get second chance now
But sometimes
We won't make past the first of them
It makes me wonder
what you're looking at
with hazy eyes though cloudy skies
And it makes me wonder
Why things happen
the way they always do
So you would
Always find a way though
But sometimes
The only way to go is back
And so you're on your way again
Affectionate tonight
I love the way that you
Look in my eyes
So tell me
Why we had to come to this?
And we
Can't look past the point of this?
And why you
Say we can't even try
When you
Won't give me a first chance
You're looking
in my eyes tonight
And I know you know how I feel
I'm looking
in your eyes tonight
and I see exactly how you feel
I feel it
Exactly when you're holding me
And I felt it
When you kissed me too
And I know that you felt it too
Sometimes
We get a second chance
But sometimes
It's probably better that we didn't

Techno Ted

Audioslave
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.
