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.
Silence, is your enemy
Because you're afraid
That we'll all see
Silence, The more you speak
The less I believe
You plant words like weeds
Scream loud (You'll never fool me)
Sing out (You'll never fool me)
Hear now (You'll never fool me)
Do you see how fake you sound?
Your lips are poison and sweet
But love doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Righteous, you claim to be
Put your forked tongue, behind your teeth
Scream loud (You'll never fool me)
Sing out (You'll never fool me)
Hear now (You'll never fool me)
Do you see how fake you sound?
Your lips are poison and sweet
But love doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Your words are poison and sweet
But trust doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Maybe then I will see
Maybe then you could be
Something more than just air
Coming out when you speak
Maybe then I'll believe
Take a bullet!
Your words mean nothing to me
It's time to eat what you speak
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Your lips are poison and sweet
But love doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Maybe then I'll believe
You're the wolf in the sheep
But you'll never fool me
I will never believe
Because you're afraid
That we'll all see
Silence, The more you speak
The less I believe
You plant words like weeds
Scream loud (You'll never fool me)
Sing out (You'll never fool me)
Hear now (You'll never fool me)
Do you see how fake you sound?
Your lips are poison and sweet
But love doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Righteous, you claim to be
Put your forked tongue, behind your teeth
Scream loud (You'll never fool me)
Sing out (You'll never fool me)
Hear now (You'll never fool me)
Do you see how fake you sound?
Your lips are poison and sweet
But love doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Your words are poison and sweet
But trust doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Maybe then I will see
Maybe then you could be
Something more than just air
Coming out when you speak
Maybe then I'll believe
Take a bullet!
Your words mean nothing to me
It's time to eat what you speak
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Your lips are poison and sweet
But love doesn't come cheap
Talk is nothing to me
Take a bullet for me
Maybe then I'll believe
Maybe then I'll believe
You're the wolf in the sheep
But you'll never fool me
I will never believe

Techno Ted
Audioslave
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.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
