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 sorry
I heard about the bad news today
A crowd of people around you
Telling you it's okay
And everything happens for a reason
When you lose a part of yourself
To somebody you know
It takes a lot to let go
Every breath that you remember
Pictures fade away
But memory's forever
An empty chair at all the tables
And I'll be seein' you when all my days boil down
But it's better where you're goin' anyway
I'm sorry
I heard about the bad news today
It's really hard to get through
Tough times and long days
But it really just depends on the season
When you lose a part of yourself
To somebody you know
It takes a lot to let go
Every breath that you remember
Pictures fade away
But memory's forever
An empty chair at all the tables
And I'll be seein' you when all my days boil down
For now we'll say goodbye
We know it's not the last time
I've lost the best part of my day-ay-ay...
But it's better where you're goin' anyway
An empty chair at all the tables
And I'll be seein' you when all my days boil down
For now we'll say goodbye
We know it's not the last time
I've lost the best part of my day-ay-ay...
This is the last thing I
I will remember
It's better where you're going anyway
I heard about the bad news today
A crowd of people around you
Telling you it's okay
And everything happens for a reason
When you lose a part of yourself
To somebody you know
It takes a lot to let go
Every breath that you remember
Pictures fade away
But memory's forever
An empty chair at all the tables
And I'll be seein' you when all my days boil down
But it's better where you're goin' anyway
I'm sorry
I heard about the bad news today
It's really hard to get through
Tough times and long days
But it really just depends on the season
When you lose a part of yourself
To somebody you know
It takes a lot to let go
Every breath that you remember
Pictures fade away
But memory's forever
An empty chair at all the tables
And I'll be seein' you when all my days boil down
For now we'll say goodbye
We know it's not the last time
I've lost the best part of my day-ay-ay...
But it's better where you're goin' anyway
An empty chair at all the tables
And I'll be seein' you when all my days boil down
For now we'll say goodbye
We know it's not the last time
I've lost the best part of my day-ay-ay...
This is the last thing I
I will remember
It's better where you're going anyway

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.

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.
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.
How can you say this album isnt good? This album is just like the self titled, only the band has matured a bit in writing skills. They still have the same formula, and it kicks ass. I hope they dont stop.
