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 Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced 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.
The song is deeply Luciferian, or more approprately, Osirian and drenched in the symbolism of the Mystery Schools. This song has deep, deep meaning for those who have ears to hear or eyes to read. Stick with me.
Approximately 4,000 years ago, Moses smashed the golden calf (Apis) and symbolically ushered in the Age of Aries (previously the age of Taurus), and the worship of this Age is heavily symbolized by the ram/lamb, shepherding, and sacrifice.
Christianity entered the scene at the beginning of the Pisces Age 2,000 years ago and the symbol for Pisces is the fish, as well as for Christianity. The Age of Pisces could be called the “Age of Deception”. Some of the keywords symbolizing Pisces are: deception, illusion, hidden, misled, confusion, fraudulent schemes, fantasy world, secrets, false, fake, mysteries, drugs/alcohol and on the positive side, kind, intuitive, and gentle. It rules the arts and humanities. If you really look at the world you live in at the present time you will see the signs of Pisces everywhere and in every aspect of your life.
This song is celebrating the end of the Age of Pisces and the dawning of the new Age - the Age of Aquarius.
The symbol for Aquarius is the Water Bearer, but in reality it is not water, but knowledge that is being poured into the well for all to partake of regardless of race or religion. We can already see some of the signs of the Age of Aquarius. The rapid rise of technology, education, medicine, and tolerance speak to the dawning of this new age.
But Aquarius, the bringer of knowledge is also associated with Osiris, the sun god and his more modern foil Lucifer, the bringer of Light and knowledge.
Recall Lucifer is also first introduced as a serpent who encourages man to take from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, to which Man does and, and his "eyes were opened" and he was to become like god. Lucifer bears striking resemblance to Osiris, the god of the Sun, also associated with knowledge and creative power.
With that background, look again at the lyrics:
No more falsehoods or derisions - this is how you know they are celebrating the end of Pisces and that they subscribe to the idea that Pisces represents falsehoods and an age of lies led by the worship of Christ
Golden living dreams of visions - golden living through technological, medical, and intellectual development, manifesting the visions passed to the Mystery Schools and repeatedly shown in their symbolism.
And the minds true liberation - again harking to the concept of the age of knowledge and liberation from falsehoods.
This is a celebration of a new age, represented by Aquarius, an age of knowledge. If we are to follow in the same footsteps as our ancestors, the god of this age will be Osiris or Lucifer.
Don't believe me? How does the song end?
@Genesis35 Entirely wrong and, over thought. Not everything is black in white.. There's a lack of an opened mind. You talk as if those words you say are facts. Though I respect your views and, opinions. I highly doubt you would do the same in return. Do research before attempting to bring religious beliefs into a written song that has been nothing more but, a universal experience of one's spiritual self.
@Genesis35 You are absolutely ON POINT.
@Genesis35 You are actually spot on. It is only now that I have been studying the Illuminati and the ushering in of their age of trans-humanism that I have learned this. Although I do believe that there are some people who really do believe in an age of love and light and are looking at this as such. So knowing what I know now, and my history as a Christian, I have begun to wonder if we really have been kept in the dark to our detriment and that we are more prisoners of that religion than members.The Illuminati members drink blood and eat flesh of their adrenaline filled victims. Are those not the words of the sacrifice at Mass? Or, has the Catholic Mass been saving us all of this time from those who eat and drink human blood for sustenance. This is all quite scary and intruiging.
@Genesis35 excellent assessment. <br /> <br /> esotericmeanings.com/biblical-astrology-of-scorpio/
@Genesis35 excellent in-depth assessment. <br /> <br /> I don’t think it has to be bad though. The man of lawlessness is very real and will come as a giver of light, but God is sovereign and he always blesses the called. So that knowledge will lead to amazing positive peace promoting advances for mankind if they are governed by the Most High.
@Genesis35 In the Grateful Dead song "Ripple" I thought water was used a metaphor for knowledge, i.e. the ripple, the fountain. Until now, I thought that was an isolated example. <br /> But now that I think about it, I guess water has been commonly used as a symbol for knowledge. I think the reason that the Norse god, Odin, is missing an eye is because he went to some sacred river and traded his eye for omniscience.<br /> Did a quick google search, and it seems to be a thing.
