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.
Maybe it's not funny but it's true
No one here's surprised but you
Embellish it, the truth is your a slave
Addicted to it's escalating
And your love story's bad
Drama makes you livid
And the nervous always laugh
I'm fresh out of advice
And sick of standing in this harms way
Interstate, indebate,
An impasse
Driving out the hope and gas
Arriving at the same mute conclusion
This destination failure
This going, going
Nowhere slow
Drama is exhausting
And I'd rather be alone
I want better friends
I'm sick of giving in to harms way
And so are they
Sick of being around something
That's destined to fail
And the sume of its parts cannot see
They make me hate life, hate
Friends, hate being there
I know that it's not funny but it's true
No one gives a shit but you
Maybe I'll just swallow all these thoughts
Maybe someday you'll stop
No one here's surprised but you
Embellish it, the truth is your a slave
Addicted to it's escalating
And your love story's bad
Drama makes you livid
And the nervous always laugh
I'm fresh out of advice
And sick of standing in this harms way
Interstate, indebate,
An impasse
Driving out the hope and gas
Arriving at the same mute conclusion
This destination failure
This going, going
Nowhere slow
Drama is exhausting
And I'd rather be alone
I want better friends
I'm sick of giving in to harms way
And so are they
Sick of being around something
That's destined to fail
And the sume of its parts cannot see
They make me hate life, hate
Friends, hate being there
I know that it's not funny but it's true
No one gives a shit but you
Maybe I'll just swallow all these thoughts
Maybe someday you'll stop

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.

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.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
anyone get this song??? send me a message if you do please
