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.
always thought it was a metaphore
chasing twisters while avoiding the storm
your glass house will see better days
spreading lies in an uptown jewerly case
the old oak i'll cut into firewood
you'll start the stove like you said you would
if i make it out, her world is gonna burn
it's russian roulette and it'll always be her turn
pull the trigger
if you think it will help
so pull the trigger if you think it will help
i use to have some love but this bullet is left
pull the trigger if you think it will help
i use to say i'm sorry but now i keep your gun on my belt
so put the bullet in the chamber and pull the hammer back
tell your love if she's an angel better pull her wings back
if you want a miracle you better prove me wrong
pull the trigger
if you think it will help
so pull the trigger if you think it will help
i use to have some love but this bullet is left
pull the trigger if you think it will help
i use to say i'm sorry but now i keep your gun on my belt
i called the lord, gave him your excuse
he hung up the phone, and cut the cord in two
now his line is dead, and so are you
his fucking line is dead, how am i ever getting through
oh no
chasing twisters while avoiding the storm
your glass house will see better days
spreading lies in an uptown jewerly case
the old oak i'll cut into firewood
you'll start the stove like you said you would
if i make it out, her world is gonna burn
it's russian roulette and it'll always be her turn
pull the trigger
if you think it will help
so pull the trigger if you think it will help
i use to have some love but this bullet is left
pull the trigger if you think it will help
i use to say i'm sorry but now i keep your gun on my belt
so put the bullet in the chamber and pull the hammer back
tell your love if she's an angel better pull her wings back
if you want a miracle you better prove me wrong
pull the trigger
if you think it will help
so pull the trigger if you think it will help
i use to have some love but this bullet is left
pull the trigger if you think it will help
i use to say i'm sorry but now i keep your gun on my belt
i called the lord, gave him your excuse
he hung up the phone, and cut the cord in two
now his line is dead, and so are you
his fucking line is dead, how am i ever getting through
oh no

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”
Magical

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.
Punchline
