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.
Got my swag right, and my stacks high
Got the hair done, nails done, so fly
You see me struttin' out
Karats dripping down
Couple grand keep me six inches off the ground
Paying off your debt, for the hell of it
I'm a pimp! I'm a pimp!
I don't need your pockets, boy you know I got it
Everything I have, I bought it
You step into the baddest, welcome to my show
Stuntin' is a habit, baby, you already know
Got the top down, and the beat rock loud
And you there ain't no stopping us now
Spending this dirty sexy money
If you ain't trickin' then you better just slide
Millionaire's jealous of the way we ride
Spending this dirty sexy money
Wings on the car, slidin' black cards
Jet ski on the beach, backyard
40 on my wrist, Dior on my lips
The way I put it together might make your head twist
Steady rockin' up the AirMiles just to floss
I'm a pimp! I'm a pimp!
Throwin' money in the air 'cause I'm a boss
You step into the baddest, welcome to my show
Stuntin' is a habit, baby, you already know
Got the top down, and the beat rock loud
And you there ain't no stopping us now
Spending this dirty sexy money
If you ain't trickin' then you better just slide
Millionaire's jealous of the way we ride
Spending this Dirty Sexy money
Got the hair done, nails done, so fly
You see me struttin' out
Karats dripping down
Couple grand keep me six inches off the ground
Paying off your debt, for the hell of it
I'm a pimp! I'm a pimp!
I don't need your pockets, boy you know I got it
Everything I have, I bought it
You step into the baddest, welcome to my show
Stuntin' is a habit, baby, you already know
Got the top down, and the beat rock loud
And you there ain't no stopping us now
Spending this dirty sexy money
If you ain't trickin' then you better just slide
Millionaire's jealous of the way we ride
Spending this dirty sexy money
Wings on the car, slidin' black cards
Jet ski on the beach, backyard
40 on my wrist, Dior on my lips
The way I put it together might make your head twist
Steady rockin' up the AirMiles just to floss
I'm a pimp! I'm a pimp!
Throwin' money in the air 'cause I'm a boss
You step into the baddest, welcome to my show
Stuntin' is a habit, baby, you already know
Got the top down, and the beat rock loud
And you there ain't no stopping us now
Spending this dirty sexy money
If you ain't trickin' then you better just slide
Millionaire's jealous of the way we ride
Spending this Dirty Sexy money

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
