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.
It was the middle of the night
When I heard you took your life.
You were slowly changing, slowly changing
To black and white.
In the middle of the night
Our clock was stopped in time.
You were slowly fading, slowly fading from day to night.
I turn around, I turn around
And your not there.
I turn around, I turn around
And your not there.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
If we could have this one more day
I swear that I would find a way
To keep you here, to make you hear
That you mean everything.
Just give me five more minutes.
I'd give the world to have you in it.
My life is empty, if you could see me
Would you have left this way?
I turn around, I turn around
And your not there.
I turn around, I turn around
And your not there.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
You don't have to ask for anything
Because you are still my everything.
I never feel complete without you.
I'll never heal completely without you back.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
(One last time)
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
(One last time)
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
I never thought I'd ever make it.
It didn't hurt for me to try.
I'll do anything.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.
I just wish I could bring you back.
When I heard you took your life.
You were slowly changing, slowly changing
To black and white.
In the middle of the night
Our clock was stopped in time.
You were slowly fading, slowly fading from day to night.
I turn around, I turn around
And your not there.
I turn around, I turn around
And your not there.
I'll do anything if it would bring you back.
I'll go anywhere if you would show me the map.
Here I am, you don't have to ask.
I'd do anything if I could bring you back.

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.

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.
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.
I believe the song is a reference to Casey's death, but definately involves a suicide (even though Casey DID NOT KILL HIMSELF. Accidental drug overdose from conflicting perscriptions.) He would give anything to see this person again and feels depressed and awful without this person here anymore.
