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.
There's nothing I can do to heal you
If you let it all begin
There's nothing I can do to please you
If I could run along beside you
Never stop to look around
I would probably see the world through your eyes
And you say you have to be there
'Cause you feel so ordinary
But you know how much you need me
When the sadness comes for you
And I know you feel
The weight that's on your back
Can get you through
When lost is all you have
When lost is all you have
How many years have you forgotten
Have you ever been awake
Something is gone 'cause you're not open
I never believed I'd find your heart here
The end is something new
I never believed I had to go there
I never believed I had to go there
And you say you have to be there
'Cause you feel so ordinary
But you know how much you need me
When the sadness comes for you
And I know you feel
The weight that's on your back
Can get you through
When lost is all you have
When lost is all you have
When all you do is wrong
When all you feel is wrong
If I could dream away
When all you do is wrong
When all you feel is wrong
If I could dream away
If I could dream away
When all you do is wrong
When all you feel is wrong
If I could dream away
If I could dream away
If I could dream away
If you let it all begin
There's nothing I can do to please you
If I could run along beside you
Never stop to look around
I would probably see the world through your eyes
And you say you have to be there
'Cause you feel so ordinary
But you know how much you need me
When the sadness comes for you
And I know you feel
The weight that's on your back
Can get you through
When lost is all you have
When lost is all you have
How many years have you forgotten
Have you ever been awake
Something is gone 'cause you're not open
I never believed I'd find your heart here
The end is something new
I never believed I had to go there
I never believed I had to go there
And you say you have to be there
'Cause you feel so ordinary
But you know how much you need me
When the sadness comes for you
And I know you feel
The weight that's on your back
Can get you through
When lost is all you have
When lost is all you have
When all you do is wrong
When all you feel is wrong
If I could dream away
When all you do is wrong
When all you feel is wrong
If I could dream away
If I could dream away
When all you do is wrong
When all you feel is wrong
If I could dream away
If I could dream away
If I could dream away

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I know you can't fix me but I'm completely broken. The weight on my back is life, I can't get through, the past IS ALL I HAVE. I define myself by that. Why have I not lived my life one Mary Onettes song lyric at a time? I'm thinking if any of us want to live just an ok life, we'll listen, contemplate, interpret, and go forward. I'm lost. We're lost. Listen, go forward.
