He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
I'm not in your house,
But not in your head,
You're not even listening.
It's so hard to know
When you're not scared.
Please don't help me,
Please don't hate me.
Stop putting me down,
Coz I won't ever understand.
I see it in your eyes
I see it in your mind.
I'm trying not to speak,
Coz you can't hear my voice,
Nothing seems familiar here.
On the other side
Of this town.
Please don't help me,
Please don't help me.
Stop putting me down,
Coz I won't ever understand.
I see it in your eyes,
I see it in your mind.
Hold on..
Hold on..
If I see this all again,
I'll try to take my time,
I wonder how fast you could try.
All this time I thought you knew
All this time I thought you knew..
But not in your head,
You're not even listening.
It's so hard to know
When you're not scared.
Please don't help me,
Please don't hate me.
Stop putting me down,
Coz I won't ever understand.
I see it in your eyes
I see it in your mind.
I'm trying not to speak,
Coz you can't hear my voice,
Nothing seems familiar here.
On the other side
Of this town.
Please don't help me,
Please don't help me.
Stop putting me down,
Coz I won't ever understand.
I see it in your eyes,
I see it in your mind.
Hold on..
Hold on..
If I see this all again,
I'll try to take my time,
I wonder how fast you could try.
All this time I thought you knew
All this time I thought you knew..

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.

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”
only just heard this song today. Gotta say I was pleasantly surprised. It's an awesome track. It doesn't matter if Charlie was in 'Busted'. It's like a new beginning...
