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.
The phone called ended in such a way
That i wasn't sure just what to say
Who to call, how to feel,
And won't someone tell me is this even real, oh
I'm such a mess
I'm such a reck, oh
I'm such a mess
Is there some extra space,
On your floor
Next to your bed
And if you let me stay so
I'll be there
Cause in the night time when your sleeping
I'll be there to say
That i loved you and i left you anyway
Is there some extra space,
On your floor
Next to your bed
And if you let me stay so
I'll be there
Cause in the night time when your sleeping
I'll be there to say
That i loved you, I left you anyway
I was lost as a latchkey child
And I saw more than I could handle
Left alone
In the lonely isle
Left to stare into you
The phone called ended with drop me a line
I though about it long, and hard.
Don't play me for the fool
Even though i'm just the fool for you
I'll turn into a mess
And and and when the snow comes down
And covers up the ground
To see you for what you really are
Play me for the fool
Even though i'm just the fool for you
I'll turn into a mess
And when the snow comes down
And covers up the ground
To see you for what you really are
The phone called ended in such a way
That I wasn't sure just what to say
Who to call, how to feel,
Won't someone tell me is this even real, oh
I'm such a mess
I'm such a reck, oh
I'm such a mess
That i wasn't sure just what to say
Who to call, how to feel,
And won't someone tell me is this even real, oh
I'm such a mess
I'm such a reck, oh
I'm such a mess
Is there some extra space,
On your floor
Next to your bed
And if you let me stay so
I'll be there
Cause in the night time when your sleeping
I'll be there to say
That i loved you and i left you anyway
Is there some extra space,
On your floor
Next to your bed
And if you let me stay so
I'll be there
Cause in the night time when your sleeping
I'll be there to say
That i loved you, I left you anyway
I was lost as a latchkey child
And I saw more than I could handle
Left alone
In the lonely isle
Left to stare into you
The phone called ended with drop me a line
I though about it long, and hard.
Don't play me for the fool
Even though i'm just the fool for you
I'll turn into a mess
And and and when the snow comes down
And covers up the ground
To see you for what you really are
Play me for the fool
Even though i'm just the fool for you
I'll turn into a mess
And when the snow comes down
And covers up the ground
To see you for what you really are
The phone called ended in such a way
That I wasn't sure just what to say
Who to call, how to feel,
Won't someone tell me is this even real, oh
I'm such a mess
I'm such a reck, oh
I'm such a mess

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Amazing

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.
isn't it 'wreck'?
