I only have memories of you
We were just kids, we met at a school
And you wrote your name onto my paper bill
And it's been with me for well over ten years

Did I waste too much time?
Did you make up your mind?

I wonder what you are like today
And if I'll ever get to feel your face
If I could go back I'd change a lot of things
And I'd make a butterfly flap it's wings

I'd change our course
I'd change our time
And who knows what things would have been like this time
And maybe one day you will hear this song
I just hope that it won't take too long

Did you make up your mind?
Did I waste too much time?

I just hope that it won't take too long.

    My Interpretation

    alternately, it could actually be more in reference to the newness everyone feels in a relationship that has just begun, and the blindness that is a side-effect of that. we don't notice the flaws because we're caught up in the fascination. so the "did you make up your mind? did i waste too much time?" is kind of a translation to "did you realize i'm not perfect? should i have been trying to convince other people?" but that ultimately boils down to someone not feeling completely sure of themselves and needing reassurance.

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
