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.
You could say this was an independent love song
It´s nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that´s not to say the love we had
Isn´t big or that strong
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way
You might say this is another boring love song
To be together and forever be true
And so today is much the same as it was then
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way
I´ll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I´ll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I´ll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Now I find that many men will look my way
And I´ll take them and let them show me the way
And sure I like a few but I leave the rest to play
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way
I´m gonna show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I´ll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I´ll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
I´ll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I´ll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I´ll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on
You could say this was an independent love song
It´s nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that´s not to say the love we have
Isn´t good or that strong
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way
It´s nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that´s not to say the love we had
Isn´t big or that strong
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way
You might say this is another boring love song
To be together and forever be true
And so today is much the same as it was then
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way
I´ll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I´ll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I´ll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Now I find that many men will look my way
And I´ll take them and let them show me the way
And sure I like a few but I leave the rest to play
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way
I´m gonna show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I´ll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I´ll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
I´ll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I´ll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I´ll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on
You could say this was an independent love song

But that´s not to say the love we have
Isn´t good or that strong
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
