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.
手の届かない透き通る闇
指の隙間から覗き込んだ この世界に 千切れてゆく赤
細い腕が綺麗な君の嘘
雨に濡れ たたずんだ希望も嘘?
朽ち果ての夢で廻る ハルカカナタ 滲む空はただただ暮れる
薄れてゆく存在さえ 遅れてゆくまま
無駄に泣いた 事に今も 気が付けないまま
ただ怖い 風鈴 闇を裂き 生暖かい風と息を殺し
朽ち果ての夢で廻る ハルカカナタ 滲む空はただただ
昨日までの夜を振り返ればもう
もう二度と 光は消え 叶わない もう二度と
もう誰も 全て消えろ
叫び生きて 耐え抜いた痛みと
闇の向こう鈴の元へ
指の隙間から覗き込んだ この世界に 千切れてゆく赤
細い腕が綺麗な君の嘘
雨に濡れ たたずんだ希望も嘘?
朽ち果ての夢で廻る ハルカカナタ 滲む空はただただ暮れる
薄れてゆく存在さえ 遅れてゆくまま
無駄に泣いた 事に今も 気が付けないまま
ただ怖い 風鈴 闇を裂き 生暖かい風と息を殺し
朽ち果ての夢で廻る ハルカカナタ 滲む空はただただ
昨日までの夜を振り返ればもう
もう二度と 光は消え 叶わない もう二度と
もう誰も 全て消えろ
叫び生きて 耐え抜いた痛みと
闇の向こう鈴の元へ

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.
Fast Car

"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.

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
O M F G..
Who ever posted these, i love you.
This song is as epic and beautiful as i hoped it would be...
Reading through it, it almost feels like a -Mushi-v.2. The meaning is obvious..its just the song is amazing and so emotional...
Absolutely beautiful! I knew this was a song worth crying over. Wow, just... wow, I'm even more in love with this song now. >w
This song is.... nothing less then amazing, as is the whole new album itself. This song to me goes up there with the likes of "Zakuro" "Mushi" and " Higeki Ha Mabuta Wo Oroshita Yasashiku Utsu" Just the way it's emotionally expressed is beautiful
FINELY FINELY FINELY YAY!!! i didnt even know the lyrics and i loved this song... now i love it even more.... ^^ and now im gonna cry even more when i listen to it.. amazing song, beautiful, my english vocabulary isn't that advanced to describe the amazingness of this song... xD
i love love love love dis song!!! even the way kyo sings it is soo beautiful, and the melody with the lyrics complete it and really communicate the story behind it
Your lyrics are off. "Suzu" is bell, but the lyrics should read "fuurin" 風鈴 or "Wind Bell"
"Wind Chime" might make more sense though when translating it to English. The literal meaning may sound a bit off in our language.
@kataimiko:
The official translation uses "suzu".
beau99: the official translations are always ridiculously off...T_T
This is my favorite slow song the new album. It's great being able to finally know what kyo is saying.
Wow,these lyrics are so powerful,to me its sadder than Mushi,no wonder i cry from it
