Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Plastic blue invitations in my room
I've been waiting here for you
Reservations made for two
Sunlight fading
Black tongues speak faster than the car can crash
You supply the rumours, and I'll provide the wrath
Romance is breaking every heart in two
Casting shadows in the pale shade of blue
Plastic blue conversations in my room
Saving every tear for you
Trusting every word untrue
Twilight fading
Fate changes faster than the death of light
You supply the envy and I'll provide the spite
Reflections cutting every face in two
Casting shadows in the pale shade of blue
I've been waiting here for you
Reservations made for two
Sunlight fading
Black tongues speak faster than the car can crash
You supply the rumours, and I'll provide the wrath
Romance is breaking every heart in two
Casting shadows in the pale shade of blue
Plastic blue conversations in my room
Saving every tear for you
Trusting every word untrue
Twilight fading
Fate changes faster than the death of light
You supply the envy and I'll provide the spite
Reflections cutting every face in two
Casting shadows in the pale shade of blue

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
The Night We Met

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"
After having finally looked it up to find out what it was, I think that this song could be a possible allusion or shout-out to Pablo Picasso's Blue Period, considering that he used an overwhelmingly blue color scheme to signify sadness/depression and loneliness and that this song is about those things.
