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 sodomize the young and dying,
This sick hunger is my vice.
My lust to drip my rotten seed upon
Their cooling flesh so fare,
Of their gurgled screams I could never hear enough.
Bless their puny hearts and their sweet naiveties,
Praise those little lemmings,
But rats unto the piper.
Bless those putrid beasts,
Their innocence my blade's eager to meet.
May my song of hatred lead them forever downward.
I fill the mouth with semen
While the head still blinks and shakes,
Ten seconds is the window,
Another child has met his fate.
I hold the grisly treasure skyward,
Have a laugh into its face,
Bless all Earth's most precious children
With my blackened love insane.
I've come to revel in the horror
No words nor nightmare could describe,
The erotic waves of lurid rapture,
That moment when they realize.
Bless those little wonders and their curiosities,
Praise those little maggots but lambs unto my slaughter,
A blessed life so cheap,
Their perfect flesh will be the ideal treat,
May my song of worship bring them ever closer.
I fill the mouth with semen while the head still blinks and shakes,
Ten seconds is the window,
Another child has met his fate.
I hold the grisly treasure skyward,
Have a laugh into its face,
Bless all Earth's most precious children
With my blackened love insane.
I'm insane,
How they'll be hunting for us nightly,
Tirelessly combing to no end,
Your shameful death to be in a shroud of mystery.
You'll never see the light of day again,
Slitting their bellies open wide,
So wide.
A great delight to look inside.
I sit upon their chests until they cease,
Expressionless ejaculating whilst they die.
I fill the mouth with semen
While the head still blinks and shakes,
Ten seconds is the window,
Another child has met his fate.
I hold the grisly treasure skyward,
Have a laugh into its face,
Bless all Earth's most precious children
With my blackened love insane.
This sick hunger is my vice.
My lust to drip my rotten seed upon
Their cooling flesh so fare,
Of their gurgled screams I could never hear enough.
Bless their puny hearts and their sweet naiveties,
Praise those little lemmings,
But rats unto the piper.
Bless those putrid beasts,
Their innocence my blade's eager to meet.
May my song of hatred lead them forever downward.
I fill the mouth with semen
While the head still blinks and shakes,
Ten seconds is the window,
Another child has met his fate.
I hold the grisly treasure skyward,
Have a laugh into its face,
Bless all Earth's most precious children
With my blackened love insane.
I've come to revel in the horror

The erotic waves of lurid rapture,
That moment when they realize.
Bless those little wonders and their curiosities,
Praise those little maggots but lambs unto my slaughter,
A blessed life so cheap,
Their perfect flesh will be the ideal treat,
May my song of worship bring them ever closer.

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
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.
This actually pretty much based on Gilles De Rais. Look him up, the lyrical content pretty much describes his life.
This song is definately about a child serial killer. However I'm uncertain which one it happens to be, I'll need to re-research all the ones I know of. But it seems to be a combination of John Wayne Gacy and the Vampire of Dusseldorf.
@CorpusDelecti It's about Gilles De Rais.
It's about a priest molesting, and slaughtering children he draws in. It has no specific serial killer in mind, rather it's straight forward.
The ending is rather exciting.
He's got a kid with him, and is talking to him before he kills him.
Definately one of the best on the album along with blood in the ink, carbonized in cruciform, graverobbers work,and moonlight equilibrium... Havent been able to stop listening to this album since release
I'm starting to see the theme of this album more and more as i read the song lyrics more thoroughly. At first, I thought it was the bands full-blown proclamation to being satanists. But now, i'm starting to see that the "rituals" Trevor is describing are more about humanity as a whole and our sick/evil nature. The album is more of a sarcastic misanthropic "salute" to mankind. He is enraged and mocking what we have made of this planet. I think the references to satan and evil-doing are poking fun at satanists and religion altogether. Essentially, we are leading ourselves straight to hell and we are utterly hopeless. At least, that's my take on Trevor's lyric writing. I could be wrong...
I think that's a fair assessment for the most part. But before dismissing the often Satanic theme as just poking fun, I'd recommend you try giving some of LaVey's works a read. Anton LaVey (founder of LaVeyan Satanism) clearly has a large influence on much of Trevor's writing. If you like Trevor's writing, you will probably like LaVey's too.
