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.
Say you can handle liquor but can you handle me? (No)

Ass soft as feathers, fuck her on my leather, let's get high tonight (will she?)
Can you handle me? (Can you handle me?)
And everything that comes with me? (And everything that comes with me?)
Like all of my enemies (enemies)
And all of the industry talking down on me
They was hatin', young, young but I'm ready
I push the coupe down the highway like in Andrettis (skrrt, skrrt)
Bitch, I'm all about my latest, give a fuck about your fetish
If you ain't fuck in a second, then that Uber X is ready (Lil' Boat)

Drunk all night
Never, never been a lightweight
Bitch, I always been a heavyweight
Don't never call me Mayweather
I promise I can do it better
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what it is
Soon as you pull up, sex is what it is
Don't you ask no questions
This could be a blessing, yeah
Two shots got me feeling myself
No telling what I'd do with my hands
Specially if they play my jam, might end up between you legs
I might just take you with me
Yeah, you know I'm a freak, yeah
Say you can handle liquor but can you handle me? (No)

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
