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.
Da-vid Kelley is a television great hope.
Wri-tin soaps like McBe-al and Chicago Hope
I mean, he's got the flavor, all the ones you can decipher
- He's married to Michelle Pfeiffer
I wish that I were David Kelley, 'cause he's so unstoppable
Heck, he'll do a pile driver, anything is possible
He ain't the one who ends our visits like a dream?
He could write a comedy or a drama
One day Da-vid Kelley got a vision and hell, he
Decided he would go and write a movie too.
The studio made the film and the studio got fucked
'Cause it was called Lake Placid and it sucked.
That's why he ended up writing for TV
Very good news to all of you or me,
'Cause you see, he went and made a difference every way around.
That's why I say he's the goddarned man!
David's back with a video show,
TV airs tonight another David Kelley show,
Fill the channels up with him, what do you know,
David Kelley's name again the man's out of control,
'Cause when you try and watch TV and then your body hits the floor
David Kelley calls the undertakers to the door
I wish I had that discipline, my head gets out of control,
That's why David Kelley's rich and the rest of us are poor!
Wri-tin soaps like McBe-al and Chicago Hope

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
