Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Hit the ground
Weighed down again
You walked out
But I'm sure you're my friend
It must have been good
This can't be for good
Everyone's, oh
Is everyone okay?
I waited, oh I, oh I
Waited, oh I, oh I
Oh, I must be too dumb to be proud
'Cause I waited, waited, hey, oh I
Woke to sounds
Prayed you were there
Fell back down
But I'm sure you still care
It must have been good, oh
This can't be for good
Everything's, oh
Is everything okay?
I waited, oh I, oh I
Waited, oh I, oh I
Oh, I must be too dumb to be proud
'Cause I waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I
Oh, I must have been bored in our town and I
I must have been bored
Waited, oh I, oh I
Waited, oh I, oh I
Oh, I must be too dumb to be proud
'Cause I waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I
Weighed down again
You walked out
But I'm sure you're my friend
It must have been good
This can't be for good
Everyone's, oh
Is everyone okay?
I waited, oh I, oh I
Waited, oh I, oh I
Oh, I must be too dumb to be proud
'Cause I waited, waited, hey, oh I
Woke to sounds
Prayed you were there
Fell back down
But I'm sure you still care
It must have been good, oh
This can't be for good
Everything's, oh
Is everything okay?
I waited, oh I, oh I
Waited, oh I, oh I
Oh, I must be too dumb to be proud
'Cause I waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I
Oh, I must have been bored in our town and I
I must have been bored
Waited, oh I, oh I
Waited, oh I, oh I
Oh, I must be too dumb to be proud
'Cause I waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I
Waited, waited, hey, oh I

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

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.
