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.
May God bless and keep you always may your wishes all come true,
may you always do for others and let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung,
may you stay forever young.
(Refrain)
Forever young, forever young;
may you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true;
may you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong,
may you stay forever young. (Refrain)
May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift,
may you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shrift.
May your heart always be joyful, may your song always be sung,
may you stay forever young. (Refrain)
May you grow up courageus and true and see the lights surrounding you
May you grow up courageus and true and see the lights surrounding you
May you grow up courageus and true and see the lights surrounding you
may you always do for others and let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung,
may you stay forever young.
(Refrain)
Forever young, forever young;
may you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true;
may you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong,
may you stay forever young. (Refrain)
May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift,
may you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shrift.
May your heart always be joyful, may your song always be sung,
may you stay forever young. (Refrain)
May you grow up courageus and true and see the lights surrounding you
May you grow up courageus and true and see the lights surrounding you
May you grow up courageus and true and see the lights surrounding you

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.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
this sucks...
