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.
I'll bite my nails down to the skin as i sketch and plan the artistry, use these wires as tapestry and turn the sky to ash and debris. Step by step with our boken knees while you gouge at your eyes so religiously and you'll never see how i stripped the wires for the first time. The glue in the sky can't hold the stars in place forever, they have to fall some time, so let's start a fire. Just get it over with and strike flint vs sulfer, as i watch you suffer, as the flames get taller and your life goes under.
I'll celebrate your ashes.
I'll TOAST TO THAT.
Celebrate your ashes.
I'll toast to that.
You're like the rest of them my darling.so empty this bottle and feel restored as your head hoards towards the floorboards. Isn't that what you deserve? after all we hadn't have a chance this autum. Our luck went out like the choices, and you chose to wave the gun towards me. What happened to 50/50. Since day one you've been a relentless headahce, but more than loyal through and through.(Thank god something snapped inside of you). You should know by now that i come prepared for circumstance like this so don't be surprised when the leaving intake valves causes this engine in flight to miss. Everything happens for a reason. But we happened to reason everything and ruin everything else. I'd do it again to know why you thought you could get away, when their still searching for fingerprints and evidence on the other 86, victims. Please, anyone, i'm dying for a new technique. Destroy the evidence. I can still hear the resonance. Take this knife away from me and use it to your benefit. I'll celebrete your ashes, I'll toast to that. You and I, perfect partners in crime but after trying to take my life, I owe you the favor. The engine dies, the captain cries. Your life before eyes. This is how i say goodbye. I set the sky on fire tonight.
I'll celebrate your ashes.
I'll TOAST TO THAT.
Celebrate your ashes.
I'll toast to that.

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"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
This is my favorite song lyrically.
I'll bite my nails down to the skin. As I sketch and plan the artistry. Use these wires as tapestry. Turn the sky to ash and debris. Step by step with our broken knees. While you gouge at your eyes so religiously. And you'll never see how I stripped the wires for the first time.
And held my breath for the last. [x2]
I'll bite my nails down to the skin. As I sketch and plan the artistry. Use these wires as tapestry. Turn the sky to ash and debris. Step-by-step with our broken knees. As you gouge out your eyes so religiously. And you'll never see how I stripped the wires for the first time.
The glue in the sky can't hold the stars in place forever. They have to fall some time, so let's start a fire. Just get it over with. And strike flint vs. sulfur. As I watch you suffer. As the flames get taller. And your life goes under.
I'll celebrate your ashes. I’ll toast to that! [x2]
You're just like the rest of them my darling. So empty this bottle and feel restored, as your head hoards towards the floorboards. Isn't that what you deserve? After all, we hadn't had a chance in Hell this Autumn. Our luck went out like the choices and you chose to wave the gun towards me. Whatever happened to 50/50? Since day one you've been a relentless headache, but more than loyal through and through.
(thank God something snapped inside of you)
You should know by now that I come prepared for a circumstance like this. So don't be surprised when the leaking intake valves cause this engine in-flight to miss. Everything happens for a reason. But we happened to reason everything and ruin everything else. And I'd do it again to know why you thought you could get away, when their still searching for fingerprints and evidence on the other 86 victims. Please, anyone, I'm dying for a new technique.
Destroy the evidence. So I can still hear the resonance. Take this knife away from me and use it to your benefit.
I'll celebrate your ashes. I'll toast to that!
You and I. Perfect partners in crime. But after trying to take my life, I owe you the favor.
The engine dies, captain cries. Your life before eyes. This is how I say goodbye.
I set the sky on fire. I set the sky on fire tonight.
