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.
If it was up to me
You would never frown
Never be down another day in your life
I know it's hard to see, take a look around
See for yourself that I could make it alright
I can take you up, up, up (up, up)
'Cause this game is keeping you down, down, down
That's why we gotta jump, jump, jump (jump, jump)
Lace up your good shoes, I swear it's the right move tonight, girl
Take me on, come on out into the light (light)
Take me on, I can illuminate your life (life life)
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, leave it to me, I'll bring you out of that darkness
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, the bright side
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, the bright side (the bright side)
Let's get out there and shine, like we supposed to do
Go where we moving, we belong in the light
I got you close to me, don't you run and hide
Turn it up baby it's glow time
I can take you up, up, up (up, up)
'Cause this game is keeping you down, down, down
That's why we gotta jump, jump, jump (jump, jump)
Lace up your good shoes
I swear it's the right move tonight, girl
Take me on, come on out into the light (light)
Take me on, I can illuminate your life (life life)
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, leave it to me, I'll bring you out of that darkness
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, the bright side
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, the bright side (the bright side)
There's no explanation for
Fading out when the night is yours
What are we waiting for?
Light it up
The night is yours
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, leave it to me I'll bring you out of that darkness
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, the bright side
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, (the bright side)

Techno Ted

Audioslave
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.
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Brightside is about them fixing a broken girl and healing her when she in a tough stage making her laugh and comforting her in her time of need and helping believe what should have already know but didn't showing and proving to her that she is beautiful that when she steps outside the whole world lights up even when its dark like in the song when he said There's no explanation for Fading out when the night is yours What are we waiting for? Light it up The night is yours. he was showing her that what ever happened to her or what ever was said to put her down like that is not true that she's beautiful that she can accomplish anything that she puts her mind to and to forget the lies that its only there to put you down that they have no life so they wanna take your the shine they don't have they wanna take your and the things that u can do that they couldn't they wanna take it
