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.
Life is easier when one of us is dead
Hey
I will wait a year
No one starts to hear an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
Wait for the summer
We'll sleep when we wanna
Don't tell your mother
We'll leave when we
We'll leave when we wanna
And I have dreamed about it
Now I read about it
And I can't grieve about it
And I can't hey
Someone help me
Someone help me
Someone help me please
Someone help me
Someone help me
Someone help me please
It's an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
Wait for the summer
We'll leave when we wanna
Look at your mother
Is that who ya
Is that who ya wanna?
Tell my lady here what I was drinking
And in not too long, won't she start screaming?
What a proud old man, what was she thinking?
I hear her voice sometimes, when I've been dreaming
Tell my lady here what I was dreaming
And in not too long, what was I thinking?
What a proud old man, won't she start screaming?
I hear voice sometimes, when I've been'
When I've been drinking
Rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I killed my baby with a bullet,
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!
Sink into the river!
Tell my lady here what I was drinking
I killed my baby with a bullet,
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!
Sink into the river!
I hear her voice sometimes
When I've been
When I've been drinking
Rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
Hey
I will wait a year
No one starts to hear an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
Wait for the summer
We'll sleep when we wanna
Don't tell your mother
We'll leave when we
We'll leave when we wanna
And I have dreamed about it
Now I read about it
And I can't grieve about it
And I can't hey
Someone help me
Someone help me
Someone help me please

Someone help me
Someone help me please
It's an accidental fall
And they won't suspect a thing at all
Wait for the summer

Tell my lady here what I was dreaming
And in not too long, what was I thinking?
What a proud old man, won't she start screaming?
I hear voice sometimes, when I've been'
When I've been drinking
Rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I killed my baby with a bullet,
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!
Sink into the river!
Tell my lady here what I was drinking
I killed my baby with a bullet,
One last shot right into her head
And I'm falling falling falling down
Sink into the river!
Sink into the river!

When I've been
When I've been drinking
Rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down
I'm rising rising falling down

Audioslave
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.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
should be one of Nick Cave's Murder Ballads...
