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.
*chorus*
Save me one time, won't you?
Take this blackened heart and make it whole.
I don't fear for what I am
is the fall of man.
*/chorus
Rape and worship!
Life breeds death and disease.
Empathy out of reach.
We all wash with rain of blood skies.
(Pervert!) words that we read.
Blind men die for beliefs.
Fall back in the pit of tangled masses.
*chorus*
Save me one time, won't you?
Take this blackened heart and make it whole.
I don't fear for what I am
is the fall of man.
*/chorus
Sewn land of the free.
Live in the shit you bathe yourself.
God of your world!
This piss-stained mortuary hole!
Just look around.
We are the sheep left shepherd-less.
True and preverse,
We are the teeming maggots.
*spoken*
We are the collective scar across the face of existence itself.
We are the murderer, the rapist, the plague,
consumed by hatred and loathing.
*/spoken*
Life breeds death and disease.
Empathy out of reach.
We all wash with rain of blood skies.
Time soils our will.
It breaks us down with every war.
Child-fucking priest!
Religious zealots fuel the whore.
The common man bleeds
into the trough of those made rich.
The pure and the sick
kneel side by side as seconds. tick!
Seconds tick!
Dead God,
(Can't you save us?)
Doesn't lift a finger for us now.
(The blood is on our hands!)
No more time.
No more reason.
No more lies.
It's time we burn!
*solo*
*chorus*
(Time!)
Save me one time, won't you?
Take this blackened heart and make it.
(Take this blackened heart and make it!)
*/chorus*
Rape and worship!
Rape and worship!
Rape and worship!
Rape and worship!
Rape! and worship!
Rape! and worship!
Rape! and worship!
Rape! and worship!
Save me one time, won't you?
Take this blackened heart and make it whole.
I don't fear for what I am
is the fall of man.

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"

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
It could be about God that he left us. Because they are screaming for help:
"Dead God, (Can't you save us?) Doesn't lift a finger for us now. (The blood is on our hands!)"
but no one comes to help us, even the church is corrupt and abuses little children
"Child-fucking priest! Religious zealots fuel the whore. The common man bleeds into the trough of those made rich. The pure and the sick kneel side by side as seconds. tick! Seconds tick!"
and at the same time there will be a few men which get richer und a dozen people which have nothing.
This is only my opinion so please keep your critic by yourself
