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.
Hurry up,
The time to attack it is near by
Under the moon glow our swords will slash the lies
That were always told
Faceless slaves,
Your shields aren't enough for the furious swords
Look the reality and think by yourself,
Is the world free?
Inside the dust and smoke
The roar of the engines is approaching
Threatening the faceless lands again
[Chorus]
Headway to truth,
From now they'll call us
Masters of Fate
Fight till the end,
Defying the rules of the power
The dusk has come,
The thump of their hearts starts to crash the path
Ready to join all the Beasters on the hills
And take the new lands.
South to north,
The rebels are joining to bravely fight
Against the Faceless who's trapping their lives
And stealing their souls
Inside the dust and smoke
The roar of the engines is approaching
Threatening the faceless lands again
[Chorus]
Fire, destruction is all the way
Bloody leather, our fate
Time, it's been many years of hate
For how long a lie prevails?
All who lived this fight
Were carrying on their sins
Everyone will be forgiven
But everyone must live it (all)
Must live it all
Defying the rules of the power
The time to attack it is near by
Under the moon glow our swords will slash the lies
That were always told
Faceless slaves,
Your shields aren't enough for the furious swords
Look the reality and think by yourself,
Is the world free?
Inside the dust and smoke
The roar of the engines is approaching
Threatening the faceless lands again
[Chorus]
Headway to truth,
From now they'll call us
Masters of Fate
Fight till the end,
Defying the rules of the power
The dusk has come,
The thump of their hearts starts to crash the path
Ready to join all the Beasters on the hills
And take the new lands.
South to north,
The rebels are joining to bravely fight
Against the Faceless who's trapping their lives
And stealing their souls
Inside the dust and smoke
The roar of the engines is approaching
Threatening the faceless lands again
[Chorus]
Fire, destruction is all the way
Bloody leather, our fate
Time, it's been many years of hate
For how long a lie prevails?
All who lived this fight
Were carrying on their sins
Everyone will be forgiven
But everyone must live it (all)
Must live it all
Defying the rules of the power

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

@[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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
This is it!
A new character, Sharp Knife, rallies the troops as the battle begins. The rebels charge into the opposing Faceless slave army. Beasters, possible beasts of burden, help the cause. From all places, Rebels join the fight. Steel Lord and Ripper discuss that this battle is the consequence of the lies Mr. Faceless has told them all.
