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.
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is
Here, here, here
She's convinced she could hold back a glacier
But she couldn't keep baby alive
Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere
Here, here, here
You say you don't want it again and again
But you don't, don't really mean it
You say you don't want it this circus were in
But you don't, don't really mean it
You don't, don't really mean it
If the divine master plan is perfected
Maybe next I'll give Judus a try
Trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin
Here, here, here
You say you don't want it again and again
But you don't, don't really mean it
You say you don't want it this circus were in
But you don't, don't really mean it
You don't, don't really mean it
How mant fates turn around in the overturn
Ballerina's that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the bomb, yes, well so did I
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
How mant fates turn around in the overturn
Ballerina's that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the bomb, yes, well so did I
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
Say you don't want it again and again
But you don't, don't really mean it
You say you don't want it
This circus were in
But you don't, don't really mean it
You don't, don't really mean it
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is
Here, here, here
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is
Here, here, here
She's convinced she could hold back a glacier
But she couldn't keep baby alive
Doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere
Here, here, here
You say you don't want it again and again
But you don't, don't really mean it
You say you don't want it this circus were in
But you don't, don't really mean it
You don't, don't really mean it
If the divine master plan is perfected
Maybe next I'll give Judus a try
Trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin
Here, here, here
You say you don't want it again and again
But you don't, don't really mean it
You say you don't want it this circus were in
But you don't, don't really mean it
You don't, don't really mean it
How mant fates turn around in the overturn
Ballerina's that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the bomb, yes, well so did I
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
How mant fates turn around in the overturn
Ballerina's that have fins that you'll never find
You thought that you were the bomb, yes, well so did I
Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
Say you don't want it again and again
But you don't, don't really mean it
You say you don't want it
This circus were in
But you don't, don't really mean it
You don't, don't really mean it
She's addicted to nicotine patches
She's afraid of the light in the dark
6:58 are you sure where my spark is
Here, here, here

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.

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
"She's convinced she could hold back a glacier, (Convinced she could hold back sands of fire.) But she couldn't keep Baby alive." How else would a woman feel that she lost a baby? They say they didn't want the kid, "BUt you don't, don't really mean it." The fate turned around in the overtime. She must seem like such a failure, and is now looking for her spark.
