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.
Sometimes I wish that I could be your mind unscarred
I envy that you don't know what its like to be destroyed
I make the chains undone
but I don't feel complete
a puzzle with a missing piece
I hate what I've become
Sanctify
Sometimes I wish that I could be your eyes so blind
To look away from a world that pushes you aside
I make the chains undone
but I don't feel complete
a puzzle with a missing piece
I hate what I've become
At last my eyes have opened
Your the cancer I've removed
You should have given me one more chance to
prove my worth to you
I have worth
I have worth
WORTH!
Sanctify
Sometimes I wish that I could be your lips so clean
To keep my mouth shut and not say all these words I didn't mean
I make the chains undone
but I don't feel complete
a puzzle with a missing piece
I hate what I've become
I hate what I've become
I envy that you don't know what its like to be destroyed
I make the chains undone
but I don't feel complete
a puzzle with a missing piece
I hate what I've become
Sanctify
Sometimes I wish that I could be your eyes so blind
To look away from a world that pushes you aside
I make the chains undone
but I don't feel complete
a puzzle with a missing piece
I hate what I've become
At last my eyes have opened
Your the cancer I've removed
You should have given me one more chance to
prove my worth to you
I have worth
I have worth
WORTH!
Sanctify
Sometimes I wish that I could be your lips so clean
To keep my mouth shut and not say all these words I didn't mean
I make the chains undone
but I don't feel complete
a puzzle with a missing piece
I hate what I've become
I hate what I've become

@[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.

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.
Oh my god, I actually wrote that? -.- I'm not that emo, I promise. shudders
