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.
Well I saw you once
Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days
I should of packed away
I needed to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Mama just called, said she's tucked away another day
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Her momma just called, said she's extra sad today
Well I spent the whole day yesterday on cliches about love
Makin' me remember when your pushes became shoves
I wanted to go back and show ya
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Mama just called, said she's tucked away another day
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Her momma just called, said she's extra sad today
So why'd you go and play my trust
Today's the same as yesterday
And I'm okay
I'll take a doctor's recommended time to get along
Since you've been gone
I'll get along oh any way at all
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Mama just called, said she's tucked away another day
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Mama just called, said she's tucked away another day
Tucked away
Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days
I should of packed away
I needed to go back and show you
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Mama just called, said she's tucked away another day
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Her momma just called, said she's extra sad today
Well I spent the whole day yesterday on cliches about love
Makin' me remember when your pushes became shoves
I wanted to go back and show ya
I needed to go back, I know it's wrong
I'll have to get along
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Mama just called, said she's tucked away another day
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Her momma just called, said she's extra sad today
So why'd you go and play my trust
Today's the same as yesterday
And I'm okay
I'll take a doctor's recommended time to get along
Since you've been gone
I'll get along oh any way at all
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Mama just called, said she's tucked away another day
Mama just called, said she's tucked away
Mama just called, said she's tucked away another day

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
perhaps Robby's best track off Gutterflower
