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.
Where did she go I do not know, And which direction was it snowing?
I'll turn around again, Paint over pictures on the wall
I can't believe she gave me alcohol
I thought of Jezebel
Hung from a wrecking ball to see a fashion show
I think you knew me so well
Juliet you know you want it!
I've been receiving strange phone calls from the city
I will not extend my hand to the general
And I do not think the people will remember us
I hung from a wrecking ball to see your fashion show
I think you know me well
I'm still receiving strange phone calls from the city
And I will not extend my hand to the general
And I do not think the people will remember us
I hung from a wrecking ball to see your fashion show
I think you knew me well
I've been jumping over buildings, I've been sleeping in the street
"Mr. Jones" will be right with you if you would just have a seat
Well I'll meet you at the river where we both can clear our heads
I think we would look great dead.
I've got to find the princess, she's in another castle
I'm dancing with the Capulet
We're so "crazy in love"
Juliet you know you want it!
I'll turn around again, Paint over pictures on the wall
I can't believe she gave me alcohol
I thought of Jezebel
Hung from a wrecking ball to see a fashion show
I think you knew me so well
Juliet you know you want it!
I've been receiving strange phone calls from the city
I will not extend my hand to the general
And I do not think the people will remember us
I hung from a wrecking ball to see your fashion show
I think you know me well
I'm still receiving strange phone calls from the city
And I will not extend my hand to the general
And I do not think the people will remember us
I hung from a wrecking ball to see your fashion show
I think you knew me well
I've been jumping over buildings, I've been sleeping in the street
"Mr. Jones" will be right with you if you would just have a seat
Well I'll meet you at the river where we both can clear our heads
I think we would look great dead.
I've got to find the princess, she's in another castle
I'm dancing with the Capulet
We're so "crazy in love"
Juliet you know you want it!

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”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
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.
I'm really not sure what this song is about....but I really like it. Does anybody have any imput on what they think?
I almost thought the chorus was talking about "making deals with the world in an 'earthly setting'"...if you know what I mean
I'm don't think Juliet is actually a person....more of a representation of the industry....
I don't know...it real difficult for me to type out.
If anybody has any imput...post it up!!
