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.
Boy tell me what you want and I'll give you what you like, yeah
Uh huh, alright, yes, my body's yours tonight
Anything that you need, you can have it from me
'Cause baby I'm here to please, so put your love into me
I know you like when I tease like that (like that)
Like that, especially when I'm at
Don't stop, ooh I like what you're doing so please don't move
Never met a man that turns me on like you do, oh oh oh
I love it, I love it, you love it, you love it,
Every time, every time, we touchin', we touchin',
I want it, I want it, you want it, you want it,
Baby I'll see you, see you
In the morning, in the morning
Wanna put my fingers through your hair
Wrap me up in your legs
And love you til' your eyes roll back
I'm tryna put you to bed, bed, bed
I'ma put you to bed, bed, bed
And if you like my body, turn me over
Love is war, you're my soldier
Touchin' me like it's our first time
I'ma put you to bed, bed, bed
I'ma put you to bed, bed, bed
I'm starin' at you while you're sleep
Irreplaceable beauty
Put my face up in your neck and breathe (ooh, breathe)
Take you into my senses
Wake up it's time to finish
Round two, round two
Matter of fact, it's closer to three
She like, "how long I been sleep?"
Shawty kisses turn into the sweetest dreams
Like give it to me
And I can feel her tell me
"My angel, this is wonderful
Thanks for letting me bless ya"
Come down, fly right
Drift back into heaven
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I love it, I love it, you love it, you love it,
Everytime, everytime, we touchin', we touchin',
I want it, I want it, you want it, you want it,
Baby I'll see you, see you in the morning, in the morning
Wanna put my fingers through your hair
Wrap me up in your legs
And love you til' your eyes roll back
I'm tryna put you to bed, bed, bed
I'ma put you to bed, bed, bed
And you can rock my body, turn me over
Love is war, you're my soldier
Touchin' me like it's our first time

Watch the sunlight peak over the horizon
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

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.

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
