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.
When she walks into the room
They look up to see her face
All the glitter falls on her
And the room's her stage
Don't you think you've had enough?
Do the claws make sores?
Take my hand and come away
And I'll take you home
I won't turn around
Can't be afraid
Taking you all the way back home
Innocence gone
Can't be the same
Taking you all the way back home
Back home
Will the world still be the same
Even if you're gone
When the pillars start to fade
And the room's just walls
Don't you think you've had enough?
Do the claws make sores?
Take my hand and come away
And I'll take you home
I won't turn around
Can't be afraid
Taking you all the way back home
Innocence gone
Can't be the same
Taking you all the way
All the way
All the way
Don't you think you've had enough?
What's the gun there for?
Take my hand and fly away
And I'll take you home
Don't you think you've had enough?
What's the gun there for?
Take my hand and come away
And I'll take you
Don't turn around
Can't be afraid
Take you all the way back home
Innocence gone
Can't be the same
Take you all the way
I'll take you all the way
I'll take you all the way back
I'll take you all the way
I'll take you all the way
Back home
I'll take you all the way
(Back home)
I'll take you all the way
(Back home)
I'll take you all the way
(Back home)
I'll take you all the way
Home
They look up to see her face
All the glitter falls on her
And the room's her stage
Don't you think you've had enough?
Do the claws make sores?
Take my hand and come away
And I'll take you home
I won't turn around
Can't be afraid
Taking you all the way back home
Innocence gone
Can't be the same
Taking you all the way back home
Back home
Will the world still be the same
Even if you're gone
When the pillars start to fade
And the room's just walls
Don't you think you've had enough?
Do the claws make sores?
Take my hand and come away
And I'll take you home
I won't turn around
Can't be afraid
Taking you all the way back home
Innocence gone
Can't be the same
Taking you all the way
All the way
All the way
Don't you think you've had enough?
What's the gun there for?
Take my hand and fly away
And I'll take you home
Don't you think you've had enough?
What's the gun there for?
Take my hand and come away
And I'll take you
Don't turn around
Can't be afraid
Take you all the way back home
Innocence gone
Can't be the same
Take you all the way
I'll take you all the way
I'll take you all the way back
I'll take you all the way
I'll take you all the way
Back home
I'll take you all the way
(Back home)
I'll take you all the way
(Back home)
I'll take you all the way
(Back home)
I'll take you all the way

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
i think its about a girl who was completely used by a guy. and another guy comes along and he knows this but he loves her anyways. she keeps living this unsefe life and keeps hurting herself (kinda like a celebrity....."When she walked into the room They look up to see her face All the glitter falls on her And the room's her stage") and this guys just watches her do thid to herself and he keeps trying to take her back home to a place where she's safe or maybe it's a like state of mind like back to the way she used to be. he keeps trying to tell her she's not supposed to live like this- "don't u think you've had enough" and 'do their claws make sores" it's a very powerful song
