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 knew it wasn't meant to last,
We couldn't be the choice of luck,
And now I'm looking in the past,
But it's the present, where I'm stuck.
And there is no pain anymore,
And nothing I can blame you for,
It's just I'm missing you so much,
I miss the energy of your touch.
Like a wounded bird
In the lonely sky,
I just can't forget,
That I used to fly,
Take me back, take me back
To the Moon of dreams,
Bring me back, bring me back
To the Moon of dreams.
Like a frozen tear
On a shaking lip,
I am left in fear,
And it cuts so deep,
Take me back, take me back
To the Moon of dreams,
Bring me back, bring me back
To the Moon of dreams.
I knew where we were going to,
It was the way we didn't choose,
We knew what was and wasn't true,
But still we thought we couldn't lose.
Well, you are not mine anymore,
But nothing I am sorry for,
And I'm still loving you so much,
I miss the energy of your touch.
Like a wounded bird
In the lonely sky,
I just can't forget,
That I used to fly,
Take me back, take me back
To the Moon of dreams,
Bring me back, bring me back
To the Moon of dreams.
Like a frozen tear
On a shaking lip,
I am left in fear,
And it cuts so deep,
Take me back, take me back
To the Moon of dreams,
Bring me back, bring me back
To the Moon of dreams.
We couldn't be the choice of luck,
And now I'm looking in the past,
But it's the present, where I'm stuck.
And there is no pain anymore,
And nothing I can blame you for,
It's just I'm missing you so much,
I miss the energy of your touch.
Like a wounded bird
In the lonely sky,
I just can't forget,
That I used to fly,
Take me back, take me back
To the Moon of dreams,
Bring me back, bring me back
To the Moon of dreams.
Like a frozen tear
On a shaking lip,
I am left in fear,
And it cuts so deep,
Take me back, take me back
To the Moon of dreams,
Bring me back, bring me back
To the Moon of dreams.
I knew where we were going to,
It was the way we didn't choose,
We knew what was and wasn't true,
But still we thought we couldn't lose.
Well, you are not mine anymore,
But nothing I am sorry for,
And I'm still loving you so much,
I miss the energy of your touch.
Like a wounded bird
In the lonely sky,
I just can't forget,
That I used to fly,
Take me back, take me back
To the Moon of dreams,
Bring me back, bring me back
To the Moon of dreams.
Like a frozen tear
On a shaking lip,
I am left in fear,
And it cuts so deep,
Take me back, take me back
To the Moon of dreams,
Bring me back, bring me back
To the Moon of dreams.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
