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.
We talk a little relationshit
While listening in to 'Lover's spit'
My thoughts go like... (toetoetoetoetoe)
And every time we avoid a kiss
We're talking all but relationship
And when you bring some common sense
My eyes go like... (toetoetoetoetoe)
Everyday I work on the road
I pave it until it turns to gold
And every day that I am away
You say you miss me
Every second I'm away, yeah, it hits me
The giggles and the scent and the need make me dizzy
Maybe one day we'll awake
and it will fall into place
So finally we talk common sense
It doesn't work out, we'll act like friends
We smile a little(toetoetoetoetoe)
If you still mean it
Have a sip
On ending our
Relationship
With every second that goes by
Can you hear it?(toetoetoetoetoe)
Everyday I work on the road
I pave it until it turns to gold
And every day that I am away
You say you miss me
Every second I'm away, yeah, it hits me
The giggles and the scent and the need make me dizzy
Maybe one day we'll awake
and it will fall into place
Now months have passed
Another planet
And instincts rise
Just to forget it
Still everyday it hits
So many nights
Nothing to say
I'm kept awake
By girls with fake names
Everything forward, no looking back
I'll have another sip(toetoetoetoetoe)
Everyday I work on the road
I pave it until it turns to gold
And every day that I am away
I know you miss me
Even when I seem to stay I'm not with you
Right now I'm just an inch away:
you can't get trough
Maybe one day we'll awake
and it will fall into place
Every second I'm away, yeah, it hits me
The giggles and the scent and the need make me dizzy
Maybe one day we'll awake
and it will fall into place
While listening in to 'Lover's spit'
My thoughts go like... (toetoetoetoetoe)
And every time we avoid a kiss
We're talking all but relationship
And when you bring some common sense
My eyes go like... (toetoetoetoetoe)
Everyday I work on the road
I pave it until it turns to gold
And every day that I am away
You say you miss me
Every second I'm away, yeah, it hits me
The giggles and the scent and the need make me dizzy
Maybe one day we'll awake
and it will fall into place
So finally we talk common sense
It doesn't work out, we'll act like friends
We smile a little(toetoetoetoetoe)
If you still mean it
Have a sip
On ending our
Relationship
With every second that goes by

Everyday I work on the road
I pave it until it turns to gold
And every day that I am away
You say you miss me
Every second I'm away, yeah, it hits me
The giggles and the scent and the need make me dizzy
Maybe one day we'll awake
and it will fall into place
Now months have passed
Another planet
And instincts rise
Just to forget it
Still everyday it hits
So many nights

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

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.
nice song :) but it's one of those songs that you can't get out of your head,, annoying :p
I presume "Lover's Spit" is the Broken Social Scene song.
