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.
its a cold night
but i warm up as you walk by
and I'm watching you
i always do
and its alright
I've dreamt this dream a thousand times
and this time
i know what to do
i know what to do
when we go out
i want to let it go
spinning in slow motion as we fall apart
[x2]
you can throw out the instructions
we don't need them anymore
i know where we are going
if i could just get out the door
you've got your perfect hands
you've got your perfect hands
over my nervous heart
i can never act this way again
can never feel this way again
not afraid of falling down
wait up
wait up
wait up
I've got some ways
i cannot wait
I'm looking in your eyes
talk to me so beautifully
ladadadada dadadadada

when we go out
i want to let it go
spinning in slow motion as we fall apart
[x2]
you can throw out the instructions
we don't need them anymore
i know where we are going
if i could just get out the door
you've got your perfect hands
you've got your perfect hands
over my nervous heart
i can't feel
i can't feel alone
i can't feel
when i breathe you in
i can't feel my heart
[x2]
but i warm up as you walk by
and I'm watching you
i always do
and its alright
I've dreamt this dream a thousand times
and this time
i know what to do
i know what to do
when we go out
i want to let it go
spinning in slow motion as we fall apart
[x2]
you can throw out the instructions
we don't need them anymore
i know where we are going
if i could just get out the door
you've got your perfect hands
you've got your perfect hands
over my nervous heart
i can never act this way again
can never feel this way again
not afraid of falling down
wait up
wait up
wait up
I've got some ways
i cannot wait
I'm looking in your eyes
talk to me so beautifully

i can't feel my heart

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"

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
amazing song
f*ckin' kick ass song "when i breathe you in i cant feel my heart" Damn good lyrics..this whole New Spitalfield Album is amazing..I downloaded 3 of the songs already, and I'm picking up the album this weekend. This, Self Against City, the the Starting Line albums are all going to be amazing. Rock on. Props to whoever got the lyrics up quickly.
getting to the actually meaning of this song ...
it has to do with a girl that's always on your mind, and you've never known had to deal with it and set things emotions. things have played out find in your mind but you haven't been able to do anything on your own, but this time you finally can. she means everything to you and she makes you feel free and better than anyone else. whether she knows it or not and whether or not your with her, she does everything to you.
Kinda goin on with me right now.. I've liked this girl for a long time but I've been to stupid to pull it together but now i want too and i'm tired of just having things play out in my head. she's got a boyfriend that she really 'wants to be with' but idc because she means so much more to me.
Edit: *set things in MOTION (not emotions)
great song. Makes me feel like I can do anything, light heartedness. ahh
