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 don't remember much today
My memories of you are so vague
But I will say, I feel you're watching over me now
I hope that I've made you proud
'Cause I remember how you cared for me.
I was only three,
Still I wonder how my life would be
I wish that you were here with me now
Somehow, would it be the same?
To all my friends who passed away
(Friends and family)
Memories will never fade with me
And I will never forget you
You'll never die, as long as I'm alive
To all my friends who passed away
(Friends and family)
Memories will never fade with me
And I will never forget you
You'll never die, as long as I'm alive.
I never thought that I'd be writing this
Man, I'm feeling such a pain, and emptiness and the lonliness
It's got me thinking about all the good times
I know you're still by my side, 'cause
You never let me down,
I never let you down
Always knew how to put a smile on my face now
How can I make you proud,
Honor you no doubt,
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
I'd bring you back now.
To all my friends who passed away
(Friends and family)
Memories will never fade with me
And I will never forget you
You'll never die, as long as I'm alive
To all my friends who passed away
(Friends and family)
Memories will never fade with me
And I will never forget you
You'll never die, as long as I'm alive.
I wish that you were here with me.
I wish that you were by my side.
I know you're watching over me now.
So I will live my life.
To all my friends who passed away
Memories will never fade with me
And I will never forget you
You'll never die.
To all my friends who passed away
(Friends and family)
Memories will never fade with me
And I will never forget you
You'll never die, as long as I'm alive
To all my friends who passed away
(Friends and family)
Memories will never fade with me
And I will never forget you
You'll never die, as long as I'm alive.
My memories of you are so vague
But I will say, I feel you're watching over me now
I hope that I've made you proud
'Cause I remember how you cared for me.
I was only three,
Still I wonder how my life would be
I wish that you were here with me now
Somehow, would it be the same?
To all my friends who passed away

Memories will never fade with me
And I will never forget you
You'll never die, as long as I'm alive

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Sorry, I just don't agree. Hazen Street rules you.
