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.
わたしの声がホントわからないの?
いつもの呼び方しないだけで
わたしの声をホントに忘れたの?
ふざけてるんでしょ? (そんなの愛じゃない)
ワタシノコエガホントワカラナイノ?
イツモノヨビカタシナイダケデ
ワタシノコエヲホントニワスレタノ?
(Break it up)
霧がバッと晴れてくみたいに
すべてが一瞬でわかった
けんかはお互い思いやりが足りない
そう思ってた
そしていつも壁は厚くなる
用意しておくやさしい嘘で
修復はいったい何のためだったの?
愛してないんだ
あなたもわたしも
傷つけ合って一緒にいた
愛してないんだ
さびしいだけだった
(こんなの愛じゃない) こんなの愛じゃない
(Well, what we can do)
(Well, what we can do)
あなたの応答メッセージは調子いい
声が明るい
あなたにとってもうふたりのことは
打撃になんてゼンゼンならない
ばかみたいに ホントに明るい
愛してないんだ
あなたもわたしも
傷つけ合って一緒にいた
愛してないんだ
さびしいだけだった
(そんなの愛じゃない) そんなの愛じゃない
(Why? Come on, baby)
(Why? Come on, baby)
(Why? Come on, baby)
(Why? Why, why?)
(Break it up)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (certainly, it was wrong)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (certainly, well, what are we gonna do?)
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
わたしだけのあなたの呼び方
やめたとたんわたしとわからない
あなたの声がばかに明るくても
(胸は痛まない) 胸は痛まない
愛してないんだ あなたもわたしも
傷つけ合って でもわかった
愛してないんだ
さびしいだけだった
(そんなの愛じゃない) そんなの愛じゃない
It's hurting, it was wrong
いつもの呼び方しないだけで
わたしの声をホントに忘れたの?

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Cool song. I'm not really into pop but I've gotta say I like this song to a degree because of my own relationship. My bf is still mostly recovering from a couple past relationships and is sometimes haveing trouble trusting me because of that. So this basically explains that feeling, good lyrics.
