Pour m’éviter qu’un jour par l’âge
Et par la gangrène du temps
Tu découvres sur mon visage
Les dégâts causés par les ans
Va-t’en, va-t’en, va-t’en

Avant de constater lucide
Les signes flagrants du décours
Et que tes désirs se suicident
Sur les cendres de notre amour
Va-t’en, va-t’en
Je t’en prie mon amour, va-t’en

Je t’aime je t’aime et le jure
Sur tous les dieux, sur toi sur moi
Et je veux que tu gardes pure
Et belle mon image en toi

Aussi pars avant le mensonge
Avant que de faire semblant
Pour me retrouver dans tes songes
Sans rides et sans un cheveu blanc
Va-t’en, va-t’en
Je t’en prie mon amour, va-t’en

Avant de me voir pitoyable
Parce que malgré mes efforts
Confronté à l’irrémédiable
L’amour seul n’est plus assez fort
Va-t’en, va-t’en, va-t’en

Avant que mon coeur se consume
Dans le doute et la jalousie
Et que nos rapports se résument
Qu'à dormir dans un même lit
Va-t’en, va-t’en
Je t’en prie mon amour, va-t’en

J’ai peur, j’ai peur car je t’adore
Tu es tout ce qui fait ma vie
Aujourd’hui je suis fort encore
Mais dans dix ou vingt ans d’ici

Pour ne pas me voir au régime
Surveillant ma ligne et mon teint
Et dérisoirement victime
Du miroir et du chirurgien

Pour éviter ces heures noires
Que nous vivons en vieillissant
Pour me garder dans ta mémoire
Jeune et fier immuablement

Protégé des griffes du temps
Comme la Belle au bois dormant
Va-t’en, va-t’en
Je t’en prie, mon amour, va-t’en

Ministry
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.

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.

Light Up The Sky
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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
