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 remember the day that I began to swim
I conquered death I was a cloud of peace
sin with my mind and pray with my soul
I threw my dice I tought Id never grow old
been in the gardens of the blinded parade
wanted sensations to become my only friend
my revolution never missioned the air
am i a victim of my counciousnes
will i find god again
I'm old...
I'm old...
I am right through the flesh of an nervous discease
some days im crazy some days im sorry
I am the undercraft of your lucent dreams
the end of life tho when theres no where be
been in the gardens of the blinded parade
wanted sensations to become my only friend
my revolution never missioned the air
am I an victim of my counciousnes
will I find god again
I'm old... im so old and lonely
I'm old... i wonder if i'll ever see another thing
I'm old... im glad i met the rain
I'm old...
At the end of my future I imagine the rains
bullets and dragons aren't far from my pain
slip thru my spoon and live through my pride
im just as dead as in no one to lie
I'm old...
I'm old, Im so old and lonely
I'm old, I wonder if i'l ever see another thing
I'm old, Im glad man in hell's no rain
I'm old, I'm old, I'm old, I'm old
I'm old, Im so old and lonely
I'm old, and if ain't god did someone blinded me
I'm old, Im glad i met the rain
I conquered death I was a cloud of peace
sin with my mind and pray with my soul
I threw my dice I tought Id never grow old
been in the gardens of the blinded parade
wanted sensations to become my only friend
my revolution never missioned the air
am i a victim of my counciousnes
will i find god again
I'm old...
I'm old...
I am right through the flesh of an nervous discease
some days im crazy some days im sorry
I am the undercraft of your lucent dreams
the end of life tho when theres no where be
been in the gardens of the blinded parade
wanted sensations to become my only friend
my revolution never missioned the air
am I an victim of my counciousnes
will I find god again
I'm old... im so old and lonely
I'm old... i wonder if i'll ever see another thing
I'm old... im glad i met the rain
I'm old...
At the end of my future I imagine the rains
bullets and dragons aren't far from my pain
slip thru my spoon and live through my pride
im just as dead as in no one to lie
I'm old...
I'm old, Im so old and lonely
I'm old, I wonder if i'l ever see another thing
I'm old, Im glad man in hell's no rain
I'm old, I'm old, I'm old, I'm old
I'm old, Im so old and lonely
I'm old, and if ain't god did someone blinded me
I'm old, Im glad i met the rain

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.
