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.
I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could have sworn I saw a light coming on
I used to think
I used to think
There was no future left at all
I used to think
Open up, begin again
Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times and never look back
Never look back
What would I do?
What would I do?
If I did not have you?
Open up and let me in
Let's go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a good time
It's nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Keep it moving
Keep it moving
Ah, ah
Ah
I might be wrong
I could have sworn I saw a light coming on
I used to think
I used to think
There was no future left at all
I used to think
Open up, begin again
Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times and never look back
Never look back
What would I do?
What would I do?
If I did not have you?
Open up and let me in
Let's go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a good time
It's nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Keep it moving
Keep it moving
Ah, ah
Ah

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.
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.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
i always thought that this song was about someone being possessed by existential angst, a general hopelessness towards life, and struggling with existence all by themselves, then they find love, another person who is having the same problems as them and who can finally connect with them and give them a meaning to their life, they both know that life is still worth nothing in the end, hence the pessimistic tone of the song overall and the lyrics at the end that say 'its nothing at all,' yet despite this they are able to take pleasure in life, and in each other, and to move away from the pain of loneliness and forget their problems 'go down the waterfall, have a good time,' 'never look back' so you see, both the themes or religiosity and love are resolved in this existential interpretation, you can be spiritual without god, never forget this...
and also dont forget that the entire world doesnt speak english, be proud of your native languages, whatever they are
je pensais toujours que cette chanson s'agissait d'une personne possedee par l'angoisse existentielle, une desespoir generale envers la vie, qui lutte avec l'existence toute seule, enfin ils trouvent l'amour et une autre personne qui a les memes problemes qu'eux et qui peut leur donner un sens a la vie, toutes les deux savent que la vie ne vaut toujrours rien apres tout, donc on voit le tone pessimiste de la chanson en general et les paroles qui disent a la fin, 'its nothing at all,' cependant, malgre ce fait, ils peuvent prendre plaisir de la vie, et d'eux memes, et ils peuvent echapper des douleurs de la solitude, et oublier leur problemes, donc 'go down the waterfall, have a good time,' 'never look back', donc on voit que les deux themes de la religiosite et l'amour sont resolus par cette interpretation existentielle, on peut etre spirituelle sans dieu, n'ouble ce fait jamais...
