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]
No turning back now going out full throttle puffin crazy mad herb
With our hands on the bottle
We some stoners wreaking havoc we ain't no role
Models- no turning back now no turning
Back now daze tensions high seems everyone's on edge walking
Over pits of fire on a skinny ledge
Now daze you loose control it's take what you can get where
Anarchy reigns supreme you ain't seen
Nothing yet now turning back now we going out full throttle
Watch out, back up, cause this is the fast lane
I got a lead foot, heavy boots, and three hoots on my brain
Ride looks like it';s on fire, but you know my engine's clean
I'm just smoking the tires, racing off every green
Step up, step up, if you got a little something
But your rev better be louder then my system that is bumping
Don't come round me talking shit if you're not built to the brim
Cause now you gonna get whipped, I never lose, I always win
Where you at, right here, and there's plenty more coming
See when the kings is in the house, everybody comes running
Meeting in the parking lot, to smoke pot before the shows
Hooking up with all the ladies, taking home all the ho's
We having fun, fuck yeah, will it stop, fuck no
I'd still be toking, blowing endo even if I was broke
Ain't that right d-loc (hell mothafucking yeah!
Fuck a fist or middle finger, throw your horns in the air
[Chorus]
Back now daze tensions high seems everyone's on edge walking
Over pits of fire on a skinny ledge
Now daze you loose control it's take what you can get where
Anarchy reigns supreme you ain't seen
Nothing yet now turning back now we going out full throttle
Fuck everybody if you said I couldn't rap
Your kicking fiction and I'm kicking facts
And it's like that
You ain't nothing but a fag
Let me write it on my pad
Just to get you mad
Now day's it seems like everybody on edge walking over pits of
Fire on a skinny ledge I'm
Going full bored falling till f fall out graduated high school
But a college drop out that don't
Mean shit because this not turning back
I got my bong my buds and my baseball bat ready for what ever at
Any time would ever
You gotta have that mental or this shit will get you no where
Got be cleaver and put it all together
Remember that saying I float like a feather come on dog how could
You think that you got it
Twisted do the math
[Chorus]
Back now daze tensions high seems everyone's on edge walking
Over pits of fire on a skinny ledge
Now daze you loose control it's take what you can get where
Anarchy reigns supreme you ain't seen
Nothing yet now turning back now we going out full throttle
No turning back now going out full throttle puffin crazy mad herb
With our hands on the bottle
We some stoners wreaking havoc we ain't no role
Models- no turning back now no turning
Back now daze tensions high seems everyone's on edge walking
Over pits of fire on a skinny ledge
Now daze you loose control it's take what you can get where
Anarchy reigns supreme you ain't seen
Nothing yet now turning back now we going out full throttle
Watch out, back up, cause this is the fast lane
I got a lead foot, heavy boots, and three hoots on my brain
Ride looks like it';s on fire, but you know my engine's clean

But your rev better be louder then my system that is bumping
Don't come round me talking shit if you're not built to the brim

Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,

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.
