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.
Won't face this day and I won't care now,
the sunrise promises nothing new
Everyday is the same
when looking straight ahead
Caught in the safety of routine
I lose myself again
And if only for a moment do I
truly feel this way,
then suddenly it all becomes
something of worth to me
Won't face this day and I won't care now,
the sunrise promises nothing new
And here I will stay with four walls round
my heart in a room that won't betray
Now that I've gone too far,
this escape has caught up with me
Everyone's gone
They all realized that I stopped caring
so long ago that today
was only taken for granted
And tomorrow's just one more
that I believe I deserve
Won't face this day and I won't care now,
the sunrise promises nothing new
And here I will stay with four walls round
my heart in a room that won't betray
Spent too many hours in this room,
leaving the world outside my door
In failed attempts to forget about,
being frustrated with myself
Won't face this day and I won't care now,
the sunrise promises nothing new
One last time
I will watch the sun
go down from this window
And I won't wait for a better day
to walk from
all it ever was that I
had given up on this road
One last step
and I will soon be gone
the sunrise promises nothing new
Everyday is the same
when looking straight ahead
Caught in the safety of routine
I lose myself again
And if only for a moment do I
truly feel this way,
then suddenly it all becomes
something of worth to me
Won't face this day and I won't care now,
the sunrise promises nothing new
And here I will stay with four walls round
my heart in a room that won't betray
Now that I've gone too far,
this escape has caught up with me
Everyone's gone
They all realized that I stopped caring
so long ago that today
was only taken for granted
And tomorrow's just one more
that I believe I deserve
Won't face this day and I won't care now,
the sunrise promises nothing new
And here I will stay with four walls round
my heart in a room that won't betray
Spent too many hours in this room,
leaving the world outside my door
In failed attempts to forget about,
being frustrated with myself
Won't face this day and I won't care now,
the sunrise promises nothing new
One last time
I will watch the sun
go down from this window
And I won't wait for a better day
to walk from
all it ever was that I
had given up on this road
One last step
and I will soon be gone

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.

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.
Yeah, all of their stuff is great. The CD is raw. If you want to buy it you should go to InterPunk.com. The CD only has 6 songs on it, but its worth it.
