Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I'm sick of feeding my soul
To people who'll never know
Just how purposeless and empty they've grown
Because their language confuses like
Computers refuse to understand how I'm feeling today
I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I am freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I saw a liquid control
That gives life to our soul
I hit my head on it and woke up to know
That I was all alone
Wearing just socks and a phone
Someone screaming like their world might explode
Yeah, I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't want another map of your head
Freezing, and losing my way
I don't want another map of your head
I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head, yeah
To people who'll never know
Just how purposeless and empty they've grown
Because their language confuses like
Computers refuse to understand how I'm feeling today
I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I am freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I saw a liquid control
That gives life to our soul
I hit my head on it and woke up to know
That I was all alone
Wearing just socks and a phone
Someone screaming like their world might explode
Yeah, I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head
I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't want another map of your head
Freezing, and losing my way
I don't want another map of your head
I'm freezing, and losing my way
I don't need another map of your head, yeah

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.

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.

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.
i think it also may also have something to do with modern communications like computers, and how people are prefering to use them rather than talk. "like computers refuse to understand how i'm feeling today" this may make him feel that people are more distant through computers and therefore can not get as close to him.
