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.
Suffer
Extreme pain is what they need to feel for the rest of their lives
Misery and Despair leaves their souls when infinity ends
Let them taste the wrath as the agony consumes them
Swallowed by the darkest light a blackened state of dismay
Survival is the only thing left for them
This grievous revelation is a new beginning
Led to the solution against their will
Deprivation thrives as the therapy continues
Sullen mastery is an answer uncontested
Denial is the only thing left for them
Life as they knew it is a distant memory
Scores of victims lust for apathy
Make them suffer
While they plead for cessation
Entirely demoralized and close to mass extintion
Damned to please supremacy
The reason for their martyrdom they will never know
Make them suffer
While they bleed through damnation
Begged for retribution before meeting with demise
Cursed by animosity
Once chosen for this mad ordeal there is no escape
Domination reigns supreme the evil has no end
Spent of all their energy now worthless and degraded
Slow death is the only thing left for them
Physically and mentally devoid of dignity
Languished immortality
Make them suffer
While they plead for cessation
Entirely demoralized and close to mass extintion
Damned to please supremacy
The reason for their martyrdom they will never know
Make them suffer
While they bleed through damnation
Begged for retribution before meeting with demise
Cursed by animosity
Once chosen for this mad ordeal there is no escape
Make them suffer
Forever
Extreme pain is what they need to feel for the rest of their lives
Misery and Despair leaves their souls when infinity ends
Let them taste the wrath as the agony consumes them
Swallowed by the darkest light a blackened state of dismay
Survival is the only thing left for them
This grievous revelation is a new beginning
Led to the solution against their will
Deprivation thrives as the therapy continues
Sullen mastery is an answer uncontested
Denial is the only thing left for them
Life as they knew it is a distant memory
Scores of victims lust for apathy
Make them suffer
While they plead for cessation
Entirely demoralized and close to mass extintion
Damned to please supremacy
The reason for their martyrdom they will never know
Make them suffer
While they bleed through damnation
Begged for retribution before meeting with demise
Cursed by animosity
Once chosen for this mad ordeal there is no escape
Domination reigns supreme the evil has no end
Spent of all their energy now worthless and degraded
Slow death is the only thing left for them
Physically and mentally devoid of dignity
Languished immortality
Make them suffer
While they plead for cessation
Entirely demoralized and close to mass extintion
Damned to please supremacy
The reason for their martyrdom they will never know
Make them suffer
While they bleed through damnation
Begged for retribution before meeting with demise
Cursed by animosity
Once chosen for this mad ordeal there is no escape
Make them suffer
Forever

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.

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.

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”

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Fucking amazing songs. Imo its about trendy scene fags.
Now THIS my friends, is QUALITY MUSIC(K)
fuckin A
In my opinion it's cannibal corpses best song. Unlike their older songs, their new songs (on the Kill CD) probably have a special meaning, but actually I can't find one.
Who are "they" who suffer?
SIC fucking guitar solo and SIC lyrics.THis is some of Cannibal's best work.I think its about having animocity towards some one or a group of ppl and making them suffer.Well yea thats pretty much all u can get out of this song.KILL fucking RULZZZ
Anyone seen the video for this? Most of Cannibal Corpse's clips didnt visually put across the meaning of the song, this on the other hand...its pretty gorey.
Look on tombofthemutilated.net for the un-censored version of it, it should still be up.
This song is dedicated to everyone in my life that i hate..so if you are reading this....DAD and JESSE..fuck you!!
Lmao, rebellious teenager. GG
Oh my jesus christ. A comment page where Quiffporn's queer killswitch engage fan ass ISNT HERE. A-Fucking-MAZING. Yes excellent song. I love all C.C. Best song on the new album is this and Submerged in Boiling Flesh. Keep fuckin supportin the metal guys, you rule.
I know I already left a comment on here for this song......I just love it so much. I have honestly listened it 50 times a DAY since the album "KILL" came out.... You can never have enough Cannibal Corpse \m/
Keep supportin metal...its the only shit worth listening to
Freakin' badass song. I like the lyrics too. "Let them taste the wrath as the agony consumes them," "Deprivation thrives as the therapy continues," "The reason for their martyrdom they will never know"--good stuff.
As for a meaning--I interpret as something like God's declaration for imposing suffering and misery on the human race.
AMAZING album!!! this and five nails through the neck are fuckin sweeeeet. Close to the wretched spawn. I hope I don't see quiffporns emo toungin faggott lickin ass in here!!! Quiffporn u r a BITCH!
