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.
Looking through binoculars it's you I see,
Moving all your stuff to university,
It's clear that you exist just to torment me,
But at least I'm getting this abuse for free,
You are looking through your window,
You are only eighteen,
I am looking through your window,
I am also eighteen,
But I'm wearing camouflage,
Cause I don't want to be seen,
And I'm singing you this song,
Baby, let's sing,
You are the dormitory girls,
In sunglasses,
And your heads are just as tight,
As your asses,
But you know a little something about love,
And I know there's no way you're thinking of me,
You are the dormitory girls,
And ain't you catches,
Shooting straight to the heads of your classes,
And you're living for the luxury life,
Ain't going to be anybody's mom or wife,
While you are the dormitory girls,
Do you like that,
I think you like that,
Do you like that,
I think you like that,
You are the dormitory girls,
In sunglasses,
And your heads are just as tight,
As your asses,
But you know a little something about love,
And I know there's no way you're thinking of me,
You are the dormitory girls,
And ain't you catches,
Shooting straight to the heads of your classes,
And you're living for the luxury life,
Ain't going to be anybody's mom or wife,
While you are the dormitory girls,
Do you like that,
I think you like that,
Do you like that,
I think you like that,
Moving all your stuff to university,
It's clear that you exist just to torment me,
But at least I'm getting this abuse for free,
You are looking through your window,
You are only eighteen,
I am looking through your window,
I am also eighteen,
But I'm wearing camouflage,
Cause I don't want to be seen,
And I'm singing you this song,
Baby, let's sing,
You are the dormitory girls,
In sunglasses,
And your heads are just as tight,
As your asses,
But you know a little something about love,
And I know there's no way you're thinking of me,
You are the dormitory girls,
And ain't you catches,
Shooting straight to the heads of your classes,
And you're living for the luxury life,
Ain't going to be anybody's mom or wife,
While you are the dormitory girls,
Do you like that,
I think you like that,
Do you like that,
I think you like that,
You are the dormitory girls,
In sunglasses,
And your heads are just as tight,
As your asses,
But you know a little something about love,
And I know there's no way you're thinking of me,
You are the dormitory girls,
And ain't you catches,
Shooting straight to the heads of your classes,
And you're living for the luxury life,
Ain't going to be anybody's mom or wife,
While you are the dormitory girls,
Do you like that,
I think you like that,
Do you like that,
I think you like that,

Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
"Track 8 is the one everybody is asking about..."Dormitory Girls" It is a song that was originally conceived as a Fall On Your Sword song with special guest vocals, but it's now an Evil Cowards song with its regular vocalist. The interest in this song seems to be based on this live performance of the song from a few years ago. Now that's interest!" -Evil Cowards
