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.
Do you regret the words you never said?
Do you feel lost like I do?
Do you regret the things you never did
As if time waited for you?
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
Can you hear me?
I am screaming
Do you regret the songs you never sang?
A love betrayed and broken
Do you regret the life you never lived?
A thousand dreams unopened
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
Can you hear me?
I am screaming
You're welcome to walk with me
You're welcome to walk alone
You're welcome to stand with me
You're welcome to stand alone
For all the things that you could have been
Do you deserve forgiveness?
Of all the things that you could have seen
The blind could not have seen less
You're welcome to walk with me
You're welcome to walk alone
You're welcome to stand with me
You're welcome to stand alone
You're welcome to sing with me
You're welcome to sing alone
You're welcome to die with me
You're welcome
Do you feel lost like I do?
Do you regret the things you never did
As if time waited for you?
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
Can you hear me?
I am screaming
Do you regret the songs you never sang?
A love betrayed and broken
Do you regret the life you never lived?
A thousand dreams unopened
Can you see me?
Can you feel me?
Can you hear me?
I am screaming
You're welcome to walk with me
You're welcome to walk alone
You're welcome to stand with me
You're welcome to stand alone
For all the things that you could have been
Do you deserve forgiveness?
Of all the things that you could have seen
The blind could not have seen less
You're welcome to walk with me
You're welcome to walk alone
You're welcome to stand with me
You're welcome to stand alone
You're welcome to sing with me
You're welcome to sing alone
You're welcome to die with me
You're welcome

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
