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.
So scream I heard about your message
And how it reeks of your indifference
It bleeds horizontal straight from your wrists
(So scream louder about)
I'm bound to come around about
(Bound to come around)
Can’t you, can’t you feel it
Rolling off your lips
Tensing up your shoulders, c’mon
It’s love
(It’s love)
Make it hurt
(I deserve it)
Well, It’s love
(It’s love)
Make it hurt
(I deserve it)
Well, it’s love, it’s love, it’s love
Make it hurt
Scream we used to be the sigh and breathe
Subtle but elite method,
I could forfeit on competing
Said "it's all about a war"
So scream loud about
I'm bound to come around about
(bound to come around again)
Can’t you, can’t you feel it
Rolling off your lip
Tensing up your shoulders, c’mon
It’s love
(It’s love)
Make it hurt
(I deserve it)
Well, It’s love (It’s love)
Make it hurt
(I deserve it)
Well, it’s love, it’s love, it’s love
Make it hurt
The keys to the castle
Are right where I left them
A princess walked in
Just to die for attention
'Cause, after all well isn’t that
All that I’ve been after
And after all well isn’t that I’m after
(It's love, love that I'm after)
(No way out)
I give up in me
Well, I give up in you
(No way out)
Well, I give up in you
(No way out)
Well, I give up in you
(No way out)
I give up in you
I wanted you for nothing more
Than hating you for what you were
And that’s what you wanted to hear
That’s what you wanted to hear
I wanted you for nothing more (loved you)
Than hating you for what you were
And that’s what you wanted to hear (leave, leave)
That’s what you wanted to hear
I wanted you for nothing more
Than hating you for what you were
And that’s what you wanted to hear (leave, leave)
That’s what you wanted to hear
I wanted you for nothing more
Than hating you for what you were
And that’s what you wanted to hear
That’s what you wanted to hear
That’s what you wanted to hear
That’s what you wanted
And how it reeks of your indifference
It bleeds horizontal straight from your wrists
(So scream louder about)
I'm bound to come around about
(Bound to come around)
Can’t you, can’t you feel it
Rolling off your lips
Tensing up your shoulders, c’mon
It’s love
(It’s love)
Make it hurt
(I deserve it)
Well, It’s love
(It’s love)
Make it hurt
(I deserve it)
Well, it’s love, it’s love, it’s love
Make it hurt
Scream we used to be the sigh and breathe
Subtle but elite method,
I could forfeit on competing
Said "it's all about a war"
So scream loud about
I'm bound to come around about
(bound to come around again)
Can’t you, can’t you feel it
Rolling off your lip
Tensing up your shoulders, c’mon
It’s love
(It’s love)
Make it hurt
(I deserve it)
Well, It’s love (It’s love)
Make it hurt
(I deserve it)
Well, it’s love, it’s love, it’s love
Make it hurt
The keys to the castle
Are right where I left them
A princess walked in
Just to die for attention
'Cause, after all well isn’t that
All that I’ve been after
And after all well isn’t that I’m after
(It's love, love that I'm after)

Well, I give up in you
(No way out)
Well, I give up in you

I give up in you
I wanted you for nothing more

And that’s what you wanted to hear
That’s what you wanted to hear
I wanted you for nothing more (loved you)
Than hating you for what you were
And that’s what you wanted to hear (leave, leave)
That’s what you wanted to hear
I wanted you for nothing more
Than hating you for what you were
And that’s what you wanted to hear (leave, leave)
That’s what you wanted to hear
I wanted you for nothing more
Than hating you for what you were
And that’s what you wanted to hear
That’s what you wanted to hear
That’s what you wanted to hear
That’s what you wanted

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Sanna.. It's obviously saying that he wanted her because he hated what she was (which apparantly turned him on.) It totally doesn't make senses, but whatever.
