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.
Yeah I was right there - like the "littlewife"
I was everything that you need - always in line
I was living you-loving you-filling your desires
But that was then-this is now-look me in the eyes
Oh oh oh oh - if love could choose sides
Oh oh oh oh - it's taken mine (so)
Get over yourself-goodbye
It must be hard to be you -yeah
Living in your life
I was always the one to cry
Now everything-everything-everything is all right
Get over yourself-know why
Cause without you see i do anything i like
Sometimes i stay out all night
And everything -everything-everything is all right
This just can't be it i kept telling myself
And every magazine said was me was on the shelf
I was givin out giving in giving way my dreams
While you put it in put me down now i found my self esteem and
Oh oh oh oh you won't get me back
Oh oh oh oh think i overact (well)
Chorus
So now you want to talk
Say let's do it just once more for luck
Like old times make up
Better yet just forget better get over yourself
So stay in touch
When you learn a few things about love
Until then wake up
Better yet better get better get over yourself
Get over yourself goodbye
It must be hard to be you yeah
Living in your life
I was always the one to cry
Now everything everything everything is all right
Get over yourself know why
Cause without you see i do anything i like
Sometimes i stay out all night
And everything everything everything is all right
I was everything that you need - always in line
I was living you-loving you-filling your desires
But that was then-this is now-look me in the eyes
Oh oh oh oh - if love could choose sides
Oh oh oh oh - it's taken mine (so)
Get over yourself-goodbye
It must be hard to be you -yeah
Living in your life
I was always the one to cry
Now everything-everything-everything is all right
Get over yourself-know why
Cause without you see i do anything i like
Sometimes i stay out all night
And everything -everything-everything is all right
This just can't be it i kept telling myself
And every magazine said was me was on the shelf
I was givin out giving in giving way my dreams
While you put it in put me down now i found my self esteem and
Oh oh oh oh you won't get me back
Oh oh oh oh think i overact (well)
Chorus
So now you want to talk
Say let's do it just once more for luck
Like old times make up
Better yet just forget better get over yourself
So stay in touch
When you learn a few things about love
Until then wake up
Better yet better get better get over yourself
Get over yourself goodbye
It must be hard to be you yeah
Living in your life
I was always the one to cry
Now everything everything everything is all right
Get over yourself know why
Cause without you see i do anything i like
Sometimes i stay out all night
And everything everything everything is all right

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

@[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.
