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.
I met this girl who likes her heavy metal
She gets excited when slipknot plays on
Leno she's a heck of a girl with no cares in
The world and she likes it that way
She wears black socks with pink stripes in
'Em and she swears that her friend goes
Out with Richard Simmons she's a one of a
Kind I can't get off my mind and I like it that way
And if you listen closely you will hear then say
Stand clear she's the girl of the year and
There's no use in trying to get her off my
Mind she stole my heart and she's tearing
It apart it's never gonna be the same
She's a love potion that plays with your
Emotions a big swimmer that won't go
Near the ocean and if everything's fine
She'll get to work on time and they like her hat way
She wears black socks with pink stripes in
'Em and she swears that her friend goes
Out with Richard Simmons she's a one of a
Kind I can't get off my mind and I like it that way
And if you listen closely you will hear then say
Stand clear she's the girl of the year and
There's no use in trying to get her off my
Mind she stole my heart and she's tearing
It apart it's never gonna be the same
And now I'm taping myself together
I'm taping myself together again now
I'm taping myself together
I'm taping myself together again
And I won't let this happen again ey-eh,
Hey-eh, ey-e-yeah-e-yeah-eh, eh-eh, hey-eh
Ey-e-yeah-e-yeah-eh
Hey, hey, together again and, again and
Again and together, again and, again and
Again and again
Stand clear she's the girl of the year and
There's no use in trying to get her off my mind
She stole my heart and she's tearing it
Apart she stole my heart and she's tearing
It apart she stole my heart
And she's tearing it apart she stole my heart
And she's tearing it apart now
It's never gonna be the same
She gets excited when slipknot plays on
Leno she's a heck of a girl with no cares in
The world and she likes it that way
She wears black socks with pink stripes in
'Em and she swears that her friend goes
Out with Richard Simmons she's a one of a
Kind I can't get off my mind and I like it that way
And if you listen closely you will hear then say
Stand clear she's the girl of the year and
There's no use in trying to get her off my
Mind she stole my heart and she's tearing
It apart it's never gonna be the same
She's a love potion that plays with your
Emotions a big swimmer that won't go
Near the ocean and if everything's fine
She'll get to work on time and they like her hat way
She wears black socks with pink stripes in
'Em and she swears that her friend goes
Out with Richard Simmons she's a one of a
Kind I can't get off my mind and I like it that way
And if you listen closely you will hear then say
Stand clear she's the girl of the year and
There's no use in trying to get her off my
Mind she stole my heart and she's tearing
It apart it's never gonna be the same
And now I'm taping myself together
I'm taping myself together again now
I'm taping myself together
I'm taping myself together again
And I won't let this happen again ey-eh,
Hey-eh, ey-e-yeah-e-yeah-eh, eh-eh, hey-eh
Ey-e-yeah-e-yeah-eh
Hey, hey, together again and, again and
Again and together, again and, again and
Again and again
Stand clear she's the girl of the year and
There's no use in trying to get her off my mind
She stole my heart and she's tearing it
Apart she stole my heart and she's tearing
It apart she stole my heart
And she's tearing it apart she stole my heart
And she's tearing it apart now
It's never gonna be the same

Light Up The Sky

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.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Magical

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.
