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.
So Imma go and catch that train
I hope to God I never see you again, but
Maybe we should play a quick game of your fault
Been thinking a lot about the shit that we've gotten ourselves into
And what I'm about to do, I do it for me
I'm really not out to prove I ain't a selfish dude
I am, you knew the truth in advance
And took the chance the minute we shook them hands, you booked it
And looking back, that scale of good and bad
Was on a crooked slant, but romance don't come with a booklet
You called me immature, well I was immature like this before
The difference is you didn't admit that it pissed you off
That's if it did at all
But if you bit your tongue and thought that you could change me
Then baby you may be misinformed
No man should change to suit a girl
'Cause if they do, they running the risk of becoming a stranger to themselves
I got a train to catch, so farewell
I hope you fair well
Nah I don't blame you, that ain't fair
Well
So Imma go and catch that train
I hope to God I never see you again, but
Maybe we should play a quick game of your fault
And we can stand
A pace away, but face to face
So we both can see the moment that the stone breaks
Yeah maybe we should trade some insults
This train's late, it's typical. Wait,
Stay a little more. Hey,
Say the things you couldn't say but maybe wish you could. K,
I should've listen more, I made you miserable
Lately I played invisible, maybe I didn't miss those calls
I know I put you second to rapping and bricked the wall up
Something just happened and snap, I had to risk it all, but
You didn't need a crystal ball to figure that this was all I had
My passions for music was bigger than this, if it hits a sore point
It's alright, of course I know, of course I know
This ain't exactly breaking news, I made you play the background
Look, I'm sorry. Honest and then I swear on the friendship that we would've had
If I wasn't a dipshit and if you weren't a monstrous hag
An horrible bitch that wants the attention so bad
That she'll sabotage a man who loves her just to get it
You're fucking insane
And I don't mean that in a good way
Bye-bye
So Imma go and catch that train
I hope to God I never see you again, but
Maybe we should play a quick game of your fault
And we can stand
A pace away, but face to face
So we both can see the moment that the stone breaks
Maybe we should trade some insults
I hope to God I never see you again, but
Maybe we should play a quick game of your fault
Been thinking a lot about the shit that we've gotten ourselves into
And what I'm about to do, I do it for me
I'm really not out to prove I ain't a selfish dude

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
obvious breakup song. they were both in the wrong. 'so we both can see the moment that the stone breaks'. maybe he is talking about broken hearts made of stone. by the way, why hasn't anyone commented on this song yet? it is really awesome
