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 heard a word from on high
Glare like a light in the sky it said
"quit blowing each other up"
A voicing so crystalline clear so
Somethings unclear in your ear
When only blood will fill your cup
Hello I'm trying to focus
But my eyes deceive me
Focus I'm witnessing history, repeating
It fell like a tear from my eye
Flying machine so up high well,
There goes the neighborgood
A scene set to singe innocence
Up heave unhinge and pit against
Like every made for TV should
Hello I'm trying to focus
But my eyes deceive me
Focus I'm witnessing history, repeating
Focus
We are
We know
We see
We think
For you
The who
The what
The when
The where
The why
We build your young
We built you too
Wee see you all
Hello I'm trying to focus
But my eyes deceive me
Focus I'm witnessing history, repeating
Glare like a light in the sky it said
"quit blowing each other up"
A voicing so crystalline clear so
Somethings unclear in your ear
When only blood will fill your cup
Hello I'm trying to focus
But my eyes deceive me
Focus I'm witnessing history, repeating
It fell like a tear from my eye
Flying machine so up high well,
There goes the neighborgood
A scene set to singe innocence
Up heave unhinge and pit against
Like every made for TV should
Hello I'm trying to focus
But my eyes deceive me
Focus I'm witnessing history, repeating
Focus
We are
We know
We see
We think
For you
The who
The what
The when
The where
The why
We build your young
We built you too
Wee see you all
Hello I'm trying to focus
But my eyes deceive me
Focus I'm witnessing history, repeating

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”

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Latest incubus album is incredible, I really see a parrelel to the late 60s how music is progressing politically. Give musicians the right climate and they can make amazing songs about society. Way to go Incubus. I am a fan for life now.
