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.
Ich werd sentimental
Ein ums andere Mal
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Die schönsten Augen der Stadt
Jagen mich heut Nacht
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Kommst Du mir in den Sinn
Und jedes Mal
Fange ich von vorne an
Noch 'n Bier und ich fang an Dich zu vermissen
Ich melancholiere und ich fühle mich beschissen
Du bist das Salz in meinen Wunden
In so endlos vielen Stunden
Schön Dich zu sehn
Auf Wiedersehen
Mein allergrösster Wunsch
Ist dein kissenweicher Mund
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Ich will kein neues Bild von Dir
Ich will Dich hier bei mir
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Kommst Du mir in den Sinn
Und jedes Mal
Fange ich von vorne an
Noch ·n Bier und ich fang an Dich zu vermissen
Ich melancholiere und ich fühle mich beschissen
Du bist das Salz in meinen Wunden
In so endlos vielen Stunden
Schön Dich zu sehn
Auf Wiedersehen
Immer wenn ich traurig bin
Trink ich einen Korn
Wenn ich dann noch traurig bin
Dann fang ich an von vorn
Ein ums andere Mal
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Die schönsten Augen der Stadt
Jagen mich heut Nacht
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Kommst Du mir in den Sinn
Und jedes Mal
Fange ich von vorne an
Noch 'n Bier und ich fang an Dich zu vermissen
Ich melancholiere und ich fühle mich beschissen
Du bist das Salz in meinen Wunden
In so endlos vielen Stunden
Schön Dich zu sehn
Auf Wiedersehen
Mein allergrösster Wunsch
Ist dein kissenweicher Mund
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Ich will kein neues Bild von Dir
Ich will Dich hier bei mir
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Nur wenn ich besoffen bin
Kommst Du mir in den Sinn
Und jedes Mal
Fange ich von vorne an
Noch ·n Bier und ich fang an Dich zu vermissen
Ich melancholiere und ich fühle mich beschissen
Du bist das Salz in meinen Wunden
In so endlos vielen Stunden
Schön Dich zu sehn
Auf Wiedersehen
Immer wenn ich traurig bin
Trink ich einen Korn
Wenn ich dann noch traurig bin
Dann fang ich an von vorn

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Ein sehr schöner Song. Wenn es einem scheiße geht , weil man gerade mal wieder an die Ex denkt. Dieses Thema zusammen mit der doch sehr heiteren Musik hilft einem bestimmt ein wenig , wieder in bessere Laune zu kommen
