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.
Dedicato a chi colpevole o innocente
perso in questo mare
si e arreso alla corrente
chi non e mai stato vincente?
Dedicato a chi ha sempre una speranza
davanti ad un dolore
nel freddo di una stanza
Dedicato a chi cerca la sua liberta
Canto alla vita
alla sua bellezza
ad ogni sua ferita
ogni sua bellezza
STRU.
I sing to life and to it's tragic beauty
To pain and to strife, but all that dances through me
The rise and the fall; i've lived through it all
Dedicato a chi l'ha sempre inaridita
come impossessato, uscita fra le dita
era sempre gia finita
Canto alla vita
negli occhi tuoi riflessa
facile e infinita
terra a noi promessa
Canto alla vita
canto a dolce e fiera
a questo nostro viaggio
che ancora ci incatena
Ci chiama
Non dubitare mai
Non dubitare mai
Non lasciarla mai da sola
da sola
... ancora ...
Canto alla vita
alla sua bellezza
Canto alla vita
canto a dolce e fiera
a questo nostro viaggio
che ancora ci incatena
Ci chiama...
perso in questo mare
si e arreso alla corrente
chi non e mai stato vincente?
Dedicato a chi ha sempre una speranza
davanti ad un dolore
nel freddo di una stanza
Dedicato a chi cerca la sua liberta
Canto alla vita
alla sua bellezza
ad ogni sua ferita
ogni sua bellezza
STRU.
I sing to life and to it's tragic beauty
To pain and to strife, but all that dances through me
The rise and the fall; i've lived through it all
Dedicato a chi l'ha sempre inaridita
come impossessato, uscita fra le dita
era sempre gia finita
Canto alla vita
negli occhi tuoi riflessa
facile e infinita
terra a noi promessa
Canto alla vita
canto a dolce e fiera
a questo nostro viaggio
che ancora ci incatena
Ci chiama
Non dubitare mai
Non dubitare mai
Non lasciarla mai da sola
da sola
... ancora ...
Canto alla vita
alla sua bellezza
Canto alla vita
canto a dolce e fiera
a questo nostro viaggio
che ancora ci incatena
Ci chiama...

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
grobania.com/canto.html "SONG TO LIFE"
Dedicated to the one who guilty or innocent Lost in this sea Yielded to the stream Who didn't ever be a winner
Dedicated to the one always keeping a hope In front of a sorrow In the cold of a room
Dedicated to the one searching his own freedom
I sing to life To all its beauty To every wound of it To every caresse of it
I sing to life To it's tragic beauty To pain and to strife Let all that dance through me The rise and the fall I lived through it all
Dedicated to the one who always made it dry Like possessed, slipped through fingers It was always already over
I sing to life Reflected into your eyes Easy and endless Promised land for us
I sing to life Sweet and even fierce To this journey of ours Which still puts us in chains
It calls us...
Don't ever doubt ( x 2 ) Don't ever leave it alone Alone ... still ...
I sing to life Sweet and even fierce To this journey of ours Which still puts us in chains
It calls us...
Life is both cruel and gracious-- it encases everything from every spectrum of emotion. "Tragic beauty" Like when a mother dies in childbirth-- the babe is healthy and in good shape, but will never know the warmth of his mother's arms. I believe this song is about accepting life for what it is. Its not going to all be peaches and cream, but we are alive and we should celebrate that.
this song owns you all!!!!! it is greatness at its best. best song on the cd.
Its the true meaning of life...the joys and happiness!!
whats it saying?
grobania.com/mimancherai.html I'll Miss You (Mi Mancherai)
I’ll miss you, if you go away I’ll miss your serenity Your words like songs in the wind And Love, that you take away.
I’ll miss you, if you go away Now and forever I don’know how to live And joy, my friend, goes away with you
I’ll miss you, I’ll miss you, because you go away Because the love in you is dead Because, because... Nothing it’s gonna change, I know And inside of me I feel you
I’ll miss you, I’ll miss you, because you go away Because the love in you is dead Because, because... Nothing it’s gonna change, I know And inside of me I feel you
I’ll miss the immensity Of our days and nights,us together Your smiles when it’s getting dark Your being naive like a little girl
I’ll miss you, my love I look at myself and I find emptiness inside of me And joy, my friend, goes away with you
Oh crap! Wrong song! Oops!
LOL! I was wondering what happened there! ;)
Lol, The Infamous T!
