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'm divided with decisions
I'll call you through the permanent
and carry the rise and fall of man
to stomach the stabs
I'll worry if I need to
a book I never care to open up
this city ablaze, your body aflame
I said to pull out
If I'm dead
then you're all right
I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to
I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to
Your eyes bear curious
and I'll show it if the word is true
I'll chisel the end in skin and bone
and toast to stone
I'm quicker than the cure
I'm sicker than the illness
I'll bury the cautious foot of man
through a hole in your hair
If I'm dead
then you're all right
I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to
I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to
but she said you're the one for me
and he said
Baby I'm not who you thought I'd be
and she said you're the one for me
and he said
Maybe I'm not who you thought I'd be
Maybe I'm not who you thought I'd be
So
Run like hell
Run like hell
I can't believe they're coming for me
Run like hell
Run like hell
Your mouth's my host a gunshot smoking
Run like hell
Run like hell
I can't believe they're coming for me
Run like hell
Run like hell
Your mouth's my host a gunshot smoking
I'll call you through the permanent
and carry the rise and fall of man
to stomach the stabs
I'll worry if I need to
a book I never care to open up
this city ablaze, your body aflame
I said to pull out
If I'm dead
then you're all right
I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to
I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to
Your eyes bear curious
and I'll show it if the word is true
I'll chisel the end in skin and bone
and toast to stone
I'm quicker than the cure
I'm sicker than the illness
I'll bury the cautious foot of man
through a hole in your hair
If I'm dead
then you're all right
I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to
I'll start killing when the dog starts asking to
but she said you're the one for me
and he said
Baby I'm not who you thought I'd be
and she said you're the one for me
and he said
Maybe I'm not who you thought I'd be
Maybe I'm not who you thought I'd be
So
Run like hell
Run like hell
I can't believe they're coming for me
Run like hell
Run like hell
Your mouth's my host a gunshot smoking
Run like hell
Run like hell
I can't believe they're coming for me
Run like hell
Run like hell
Your mouth's my host a gunshot smoking

Techno Ted

Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.

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.
