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.
I'm the same as I was when I was 6 years old
And oh my God I feel so damn old
I don't really feel anything
On a plane, I can see the tiny lights below
And oh my God, they look so alone
Do they really feel anything?
Oh my God, I've gotta gotta gotta gotta move on
Where do you move when what you're moving from
Is yourself?
The universe works on a math equation
that never even ever really ends in the end
Infinity spirals out creation
We're on the tip of its tongue, and it is saying
We ain't sure where you stand
You ain't machines and you ain't land
And the plants and the animals, they are linked
And the plants and the animals eat each other
Oh my God and oh my cat
I told my Dad what I need
Well I know what I have and want
But I don't know what I need
Well, he said he said he said he said
"Where we're going I'm dead."
And oh my God I feel so damn old
I don't really feel anything
On a plane, I can see the tiny lights below
And oh my God, they look so alone
Do they really feel anything?
Oh my God, I've gotta gotta gotta gotta move on
Where do you move when what you're moving from
Is yourself?
The universe works on a math equation
that never even ever really ends in the end
Infinity spirals out creation
We're on the tip of its tongue, and it is saying
We ain't sure where you stand
You ain't machines and you ain't land
And the plants and the animals, they are linked
And the plants and the animals eat each other
Oh my God and oh my cat
I told my Dad what I need
Well I know what I have and want
But I don't know what I need
Well, he said he said he said he said
"Where we're going I'm dead."

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
I don't think there's a struggle between science or religion in this song. And this song definitely isn't about the unified theory because nothing about it implies an attempt to understand a theory, just that the universe functions as a never ending equation, which he considers infinity. Isaac Brock is explaining his "religion" is that life is like a never ending math equation, self replicating and extending infinitely. Which is close to my own idea of reality but he's basically saying that the universe follows a law of infinity, creating itself and expanding itself. Anywhere you look, in nature, in people, in physics, everything follows a fundamental pattern of growth, death, reproduction, and repetition. Essentially it follows a pattern almost mathematical that never really ends but instead increases exponentially. The plants and animals are connected is that same kind of thing, that there is a balance and a cycle of some sort. I really feel that he sees the universe as something composed of patterns and cycles..
Did you realize when he said "Oh my God and oh my cat" that God is DOg backwards? Oh my dog and oh my cat.
Now that's brilliance! Like this song. Which I have no idea what it means.
woah, thats so sweet
Few corrections:
Is yourself? The universe works on a math equation that never even ever really even has any end Infinity spirals out creation
And the plants and the animals eat each other Oh my God and oh my cat I told myself what I need Well I know what I have and want
But I don't know what I need Well, he said he said he said he said "Bad words don't weigh nothin'" I spent my whole life in a sea of pain Don't know what's right, but I know what ain't
Wow, the "bad words don't weigh nothin" part sounds perfectly like both interpretations of the lyrics. :o
I think this is about that overwhelming feeling of meaninglessness in the face of life, the universe, and everything. When you feel old and not anything at all. Where do you move when you want to move from yourself, is an eloquent emotion. The feeling doesn't end and you don't know who you are. Typical questions of existentialism, all wrapped up in a funky indie rock song.
hey ass read the post above me "but did you hear something about Isaac Brock getting charged with rape?? What the hell?! " i was answering him jerk meat.
learn to click 'post reply' then so that people can understand you're replying and not making a new point.<br /> duh.
It sounds like "that never even ever really even ends in the end" instead of what you have written
thank you!
Maybe it's just me, but to me, it sound like the song is saying (on the first time this verse is played) ". . . .that never even ever realy ends, In the end if it inspires our creation, we are on the tip of its tongs and it is saying, well. . . ." Just my two cents.. And if you would kindly forgive any ill spelling or poor grammar that would be apreciated.
does anyone know of any good places to download songs for people w/ 56k modems and a computer that freezes alot?
