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 miss you more with every mile that we drive
and when i wake the suns not as bright as your eyes
i miss you more with every state that we cross
say you'll stay and waste another day
the pictures that we paint are better than what i saw today
i miss you, from one thousand miles away
and i got this figured out right
and i will fly home tonight oh
the east coast wheather is so much better when its with you
cause theres so much left to drive
and i havent slept in nights oh
i set my car on cruise control
this is where i begin to let go
i keep your photograph taped to my rear view
so when i look behind me all i see is you
i miss you more, but i no you got my back
say you'll stay, and waste another day here in new jersey
the long drives that we make
we're crossing over states its over rated
but im one thousand miles away
and i got this figured out right
and i will fly home tonight oh
the east coast wheather is so much better when its with you
cause theres so much left to drive
and i havent slept in nights
i set my car on cruise control
this is where i begin to let go
i miss with every mile that we drive.
and i got this figured out right
i will fly home tonight
the east coast wheather is so much better when its with you
cause theres so much left to drive
and i havent slept in nights
i set my car on cruise control
this is where i begin to let go
and this is where i begin to let go
and this is where i begin to let go.
and when i wake the suns not as bright as your eyes
i miss you more with every state that we cross
say you'll stay and waste another day
the pictures that we paint are better than what i saw today
i miss you, from one thousand miles away
and i got this figured out right
and i will fly home tonight oh
the east coast wheather is so much better when its with you
cause theres so much left to drive
and i havent slept in nights oh
i set my car on cruise control
this is where i begin to let go
i keep your photograph taped to my rear view
so when i look behind me all i see is you
i miss you more, but i no you got my back
say you'll stay, and waste another day here in new jersey
the long drives that we make

i set my car on cruise control
this is where i begin to let go
and this is where i begin to let go
and this is where i begin to let go.

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.

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.

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."
It's personally an amazing song to listen to, and the singer has an amazing voice:)
