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.
Well ya dun know its ya boy I-Y-A-Z
Alongside the man J-R'a
I said I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it, solo.
See how we used to be a team
Runnin' the streets (yeah)
We was living out our dream (oh)
You used to be my rider
I was your provider
Now we separated in two
Oh baby you left and sailed away alone (Yeah, alone)
And now you got me trapped up on this island
With no way to get home
And I don't wanna go go
I don't wanna go go
I don't wanna it no no
I don't wanna it no no
I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)
Cause I was so high
And now I'm so low
And I don't wanna walk around alone, solo
Said I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo) solo
You was the beat on to my top line,
Put us together
And you'd have to hit the rewind
See, you give me a purpose
Now I'm getting nervous
That my heart will never sing again
Oh, when we was runnin' up the airways,
They knew us from the Virgin Islands to the U.K.
See, we was on the way to the platinum and gold
Never thought that you'd go but you did ya, ya you did.
Oh baby you left and sailed away alone (Yeah, alone)
And now you got me trapped up on this island
With no way to get home
And I don't wanna go go
I don't wanna go go
I don't wanna it no no
I don't wanna it no no
I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)
Cause I was so high
And now I'm so low
And I don't wanna walk around alone, solo
Said I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo) solo
I don't wanna walk S-O-L-O
(no no no)
I don't wanna walk S-O-L-O
"Oh no oh, no uh no,
Oh no oh no oh no oh"
I don't wanna walk (S-O-L-O)
And I don't wanna go, go
I don't wanna go, go
I don't wanna it no, no
I don't wanna it no, no
I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)
Cause I was so high
And now I'm so low
And I don't wanna walk around alone (Solo)
I said I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo) solo

I said I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it, solo.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
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"
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
ahmm .. i think this song is cool.. hehehe ..
