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.
You're the one I want
You're a chance to take
You're a hard break
And swore you'd never leave again
You're the only one
That I ever trusted
Or who ever cared at all
Is this how its going to be
Is this how you wanted me
Broken down again
Its almost over now
Is this why you wanted me
To watch as you walk away
You kept on killing me
And you don't even want to touch me
I was wrong
I've wasted on
Can't figure out
What happened to us
I won't count on you anymore
I'll be all right
Don't worry about me
Aren't you happy now
You got what you want
I wanted you
But I'm over that now
I'm so sick of you and what we went through
Your lies to me
Won't win again
So don't kid yourself
Its better this way
Its all back to me
You're a chance to take
You're a hard break
And swore you'd never leave again
You're the only one
That I ever trusted
Or who ever cared at all
Is this how its going to be
Is this how you wanted me
Broken down again
Its almost over now
Is this why you wanted me
To watch as you walk away
You kept on killing me
And you don't even want to touch me
I was wrong
I've wasted on
Can't figure out
What happened to us
I won't count on you anymore
I'll be all right
Don't worry about me
Aren't you happy now
You got what you want
I wanted you
But I'm over that now
I'm so sick of you and what we went through
Your lies to me
Won't win again
So don't kid yourself
Its better this way
Its all back to me

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Just A Little Lovin'
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

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.
This song is amazing. Im kind of going through the same thing and when I listened to this song after the my first "epiphany" about my situation, it was almost like an instance of clarity. And I think everyone can relate to this song and its theme, making it more human. The Wrens are incredible!!
