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.
last night I went out for a movie
when I got home you were there
you were sitting on my front porch waiting to get in
I don't know you
you don't know me
but I opened up the door
you walked in you walked up the stairs
as if so many times before
don't even know your name
now you're here I ask you where you came from
you brush right by as you head straight for my room
I asked you where you came from
but you didn't say a word
no, you brush right by me
as you head straight for my room
I don't know you
you don't know me
but I opened up the door
you walked in you walked up the stairs
as if so many times before
don't even know your name
when I got home you were there
you were sitting on my front porch waiting to get in
I don't know you
you don't know me
but I opened up the door
you walked in you walked up the stairs
as if so many times before
don't even know your name
now you're here I ask you where you came from
you brush right by as you head straight for my room
I asked you where you came from
but you didn't say a word
no, you brush right by me
as you head straight for my room
I don't know you
you don't know me
but I opened up the door
you walked in you walked up the stairs
as if so many times before
don't even know your name

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
this is a really cute song. it's a shame they broke up.
