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 used to be a little bit shy
I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about my emotions has always been hard
But this just can't wait
Tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won't let one more day pass without you explaining what we are
This is gonna sound kind of silly
But I couldn't help but notice
The last time you kissed me
You kept both eyes open
Baby, can you tell me what does that mean?
If you're looking all over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on
Don't let me let me stop you
From doing what you wanna do
You don't wanna stick just me it's cool
Take no chance getting over you
No no don't let me let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true no, don't let me stop you
A lot of things I can take
Got a high threshold for pain
But let's get one thing straight, I'm not down to share you with anyone
If that's not what you're looking for
Nice knowing you, but there's the door
'Cause I know that I can find someone who'll give me what I want
This is gonna sound kind of silly
If you're looking over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on
Don't let me let me stop you
From doing what you wanna do
You don't wanna stick just me it's cool
Take no chance getting over you
No no don't let me let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true no, don't let me stop you
Even if I'm in the brokenhearted
I won't lie
I don't wanna hear goodbye
But either way I'll be alright
Don't let me let me stop you
From doing what you wanna do
You don't wanna stick just me it's cool
Take no chance getting over you
No no don't let me let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true no, don't let me stop you
Don't let me let me stop you
From doing what you wanna do
You don't wanna stick just me it's cool
Take no chance getting over you
No no don't let me let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true no, don't let me stop you
I kept my deepest feelings inside
Speaking up to you about my emotions has always been hard
But this just can't wait
Tonight I feel a little bit brave
So I won't let one more day pass without you explaining what we are
This is gonna sound kind of silly
But I couldn't help but notice
The last time you kissed me
You kept both eyes open
Baby, can you tell me what does that mean?
If you're looking all over your shoulder
Then you don't need to be with me
And I don't need to hold on
Don't let me let me stop you
From doing what you wanna do
You don't wanna stick just me it's cool
Take no chance getting over you
No no don't let me let me stop you
If you wanna leave baby you can leave
Just don't pretend that you're into me
If it ain't true no, don't let me stop you
A lot of things I can take

If it ain't true no, don't let me stop you

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

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Andreas "Quiz" Romdhane and Josef Larossi co-wrote this. Among the other songs the Swedish production duo have credits for are "Up" for British girl group The Saturdays, "Ride It" for Geri Halliwell and a lot of Il Divo's material.
