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.
T.I.P Pimpin'
Ay shawty why u wanna act like that?
I'm sayin', I'm just tryin' be nice to ya
Go and tell a nigga no wit an ass so fat
Hey why u wanna go and do that love huh?
Hey why u wanna go and do that do dat
Hey why u wanna go and do dat dat dat
And the relationship been faithful to a nigga so wack
Hey why u wanna go and do that love huh
Hey why u wanna go and do that do dat
Hey why u wanna go and do dat dat dat
Can't help but notice how ya glowin' I can see in ya face
Now I just wonder if he know he close to bein' replaced
Swear I treat u like a queen u put me in his place
So you could give back his ring and the key to his place
Tell the nigga one thing that u need ya space
Tell the niggas one thing u don?t need to chase
I wanna kiss u everywhere between ya knees and waist
Hear the sounds that u make and get ya knees to shake
Holla at me in the A you feel u need to escape
Got a mansion and a gate, you wit me and you safe
There?s a phantom and a truck wit 23's to skate
600 g's in the safe how much cheese it take
This a chance u need to take it ain't no need to wait
Say the word we can leave today it's somethin' special and it feel like fate
Hate to make a mistake
How the same thing makin' ya sad makin' ya stay
Can he touch it like that and make it feel like this
How he left and came back and it's still like this
Do he hit it from the back and make u feel it in ya chest
Take advantage of what you concealin' in ya dress
What he think he too fresh to show u that u the best
Compliment u on ya intellect and treat u wit respect
Make u sex till u sweat tongue kissin' on ya neck
It's been a while since u got it like this I bet
And I can tell you ain't just another bitch I met
Ain't nobody got me open like this not yet
Know u confused ain't decided which way you should go yet
So how u keep sayin' no when ya panties so wet?
Ay
This nigga playin' mind games man
I think the time came that ya mind changed ya understand?
Life is like a chess move u need to make the next move ya best move
Keep it pimpin' ya understand?
Hey
I mean you know I'm sayin' I showed u how I feel you know what I'm sayin'
I put myself all the way out there you know
Ball in your court man but I jus got one question for u
Is you happy?
Ay shawty why u wanna act like that?
I'm sayin', I'm just tryin' be nice to ya
Go and tell a nigga no wit an ass so fat
Hey why u wanna go and do that love huh?
Hey why u wanna go and do that do dat
Hey why u wanna go and do dat dat dat
And the relationship been faithful to a nigga so wack
Hey why u wanna go and do that love huh
Hey why u wanna go and do that do dat
Hey why u wanna go and do dat dat dat
Can't help but notice how ya glowin' I can see in ya face

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
