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.
It's too late, baby, there's no turning around
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
This is how I do when I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hole of my heart
You want to get inside
Then you can to get in line
But not this time
'Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath
Then I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel and it's so so real
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie
You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lock down
And then you turned me around
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lock down
And then you turned me around
Now I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lock down
And then you turned me around
Now I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
This is how I do when I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hole of my heart
You want to get inside
Then you can to get in line
But not this time
'Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath
Then I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel and it's so so real
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie
You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lock down
And then you turned me around
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lock down
And then you turned me around
Now I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lock down
And then you turned me around
Now I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
i always thought (and still do) that it was "i keep a sinister smile and a hole in my heart.." not hold of my heart... makes more sense to me... because i feel like the song is about a guy who had a girl and now he lost her suddenly ("you caught me off guard") now hes going crazy and would do anything for her and just wants to go to her. (now im running and screaming) and he feels amazing when hes with her and things were great. (i feel like a hero, and youre my heroine) he was so sick of just going into relationships and them not being great, but when he was with her things were amazing (i was so jaded). and her love is the sweetest sin because it feels so right that he felt like there was something sinful. but really he just loved her entirely. theres no chance letting her get away, he already knows how incredible she is and theres no way he'll ever let her go (its too late baby theres no turning around). hes not going to try to explain everything with a long thought out answer on why she should take him back (i wont try to philosophize) hes just going to give it to her straight (ill take a deep breath and ill look in your eyes) he has had a long past of bad girlfriends and secrets (closet filled up to the brim... skeletons) and hes happy that she doesnt judge him for any of it.(dont know why you'd even try)... sorry i kinda jumped aroound the song a little, but thats how i read it, but thats also exactly whats going on in my life so thats what i want the song to be about. thanks :)
