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.
Last chance to make believe in always and all it seems
Train wrecks hide underneath your umbrella
Set the frame destiny on this first name soliloquy
Tired symphonies play downward
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me show you what I'm thinking of
Let me give the world to you my love
So far
So far
So far
Lovers form dead excuse
And blur the line with soul abuse
My lonesome lines just have no use around here
New skin may hold you in
But the old skin still turns us on
Flicker fades the nitrate dawn to wear
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me show you what I'm thinking of
Times are hard and we're the last in line
'Cause in my grief I'd forgotten what was mine
No I wouldn't change a thing
No I, no
No I wouldn't change a thing about the way you are
The distance here, the speed so far
So far
So far
So far
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you my love
So far
So far
So far
Train wrecks hide underneath your umbrella
Set the frame destiny on this first name soliloquy
Tired symphonies play downward
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me show you what I'm thinking of
Let me give the world to you my love
So far
So far
So far
Lovers form dead excuse
And blur the line with soul abuse
My lonesome lines just have no use around here
New skin may hold you in
But the old skin still turns us on
Flicker fades the nitrate dawn to wear
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me show you what I'm thinking of
Times are hard and we're the last in line
'Cause in my grief I'd forgotten what was mine
No I wouldn't change a thing
No I, no
No I wouldn't change a thing about the way you are
The distance here, the speed so far
So far
So far
So far
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you my love
So far
So far
So far

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Good lyrics but have not heard the song : (
