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.
You try your hardest to perfect your explanations
You lie until they've run out of questions
You can only move as fast as those in front of you
And if you assume just like them,what good will it do?
So find out for yourself,so your ignorance will stop bleeding through
Only one thing
Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you
It's just a breath away you can breathe today breathe today
So many lies swirling around you you're suffocating
The empty space in you
Steals your breath you're suffocating
Logic forces me to believe in this and now I've learned to see
I can only say what I've seen and heard and only you can choose
And every choice you make will affect you,search your own self
You can breathe today
So many lies swarming around you, you're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath you're suffocating
Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you
It's just a breath away
So many lies swarming around you you're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath you're suffocating
You can breathe today
Breathe today
You lie until they've run out of questions
You can only move as fast as those in front of you
And if you assume just like them,what good will it do?
So find out for yourself,so your ignorance will stop bleeding through
Only one thing
Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you
It's just a breath away you can breathe today breathe today
So many lies swirling around you you're suffocating
The empty space in you
Steals your breath you're suffocating
Logic forces me to believe in this and now I've learned to see
I can only say what I've seen and heard and only you can choose
And every choice you make will affect you,search your own self
You can breathe today
So many lies swarming around you, you're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath you're suffocating
Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you
It's just a breath away
So many lies swarming around you you're suffocating
The empty shape in you
Steals your breath you're suffocating
You can breathe today
Breathe today
