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.
Spill these lies.
All you ever want to do, is fill these eyes.
With tears, it's all you need to do to, magnify.
Everything about you is to justify, to feel my pride!
Ready to catch a fistful,
now I'm coming at ya like the crack of a pistol.
Duck! Said ya run out of luck,
everything about you sez I don't give a fuck.
You don't know what the pain does to me on my knees in a world where I can barely breathe.
And did you think I'd let you get away,
from just a piece of the pain that you left me with everyday?
Everyday.. everyday.. everyday.. everyday.
Spin your hate.
All I ever needed was to, demonstrate.
You and all your fucked up rules.
I cant relate.
Every time I try to leave, I cant escape.
I see, your face!
Ready to catch a fistful,
now I'm coming at ya like the crack of a pistol.
Duck! Said ya run out of luck,
everything about you sez I don't give a fuck.
You don't know what the pain does to me on my knees in a world where I can barely breathe.
And did you think I'd let you get away,
from just a piece of the pain that you left me with everyday?
Taste this anger.. ripping you open!
Impending danger.. something you lost!
Can I have a.. moment of silence!
And now your.. gone!
Get off, get off, coming up behind you!
Get off, get off, coming to remind you!
Get off, get off, don't you test me!
Get off, get off, get off, get off!
Get off, get off, coming up behind you!
Get off, get off, coming to remind you!
Get off, get off, don't you test me!
Get off, get off, get off, get off!
All you ever want to do, is fill these eyes.
With tears, it's all you need to do to, magnify.
Everything about you is to justify, to feel my pride!
Ready to catch a fistful,
now I'm coming at ya like the crack of a pistol.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Not too sure what this song is about, but I have a feeling he is mad at someone. But it doesnt matter cause 40 Below Summer is the best band in the world!!!
