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.
Co***, co***, co***, co***
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it we can flip it
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it co***
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it we can flip it
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it co***
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it we can flip it
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it co***
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it we can flip it
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it co***
I had *** in my mouth, razor blade in my hand
If a ** hittin' *** then you get it from the man
Understand I can do the thang, any way you want it
We can make it quarter key or a *** for the hundred
Want it now, maybe wanna come through a lil' later
Got a line up my nose, size of the equator
Take a ounce of that pure, then make it into two
Bakin' soda make it stretch, on the stove it'll brew
Come on through, I ain't worried 'bout no *** on a jackin'
I got killers front and back do', who ain't on no actin'
Guns clackin' triggers pull, sendin' suckers straight to Heaven
You'll get hit in the head wit' this **-47
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it we can flip it
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it co***
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it we can flip it
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it co***
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it we can flip it
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it co***
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it we can flip it
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it co***
Residue on the table from the *** we's choppin'
Our balls big as golf balls, we's been sno'tin'
Up all night in this trap house, *** know we got clout
'Caine slangers on the blade know what I'm talkin' 'bout
'Bout to bring the *** to the hood like a blizzard
Dodgin' police and this trap they movin' like a lizard
Hoovin' got a pipeline comin' out of Dallas
Got a mansion in Memphis down there, got a palace
I'm addicted to this hustle game just like the ***
Tell myself I'mma quit but I can't stop it mayne
Love the cars, love the clothes, diamonds in my mouth
Down here dope is cheaper so we boomin' down south
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it we can flip it
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it co***
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it we can flip it
We can s*** it we can flip it, we can s*** it co***

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
