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.
So sick, so sick of being tired
And oh so tired of being sick
We're both such magnificent liars
So crush me baby, I'm all ears
So obviously desperate, so desperately obvious
I'll give in one more time and feed you stupid lines all about "It's basic"
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
So sick, so sick of being tired
And oh so tired of being sick
Willing and ready to prove the worst of everything you said about
So obviously desperate, so desperately obvious
So good at setting bad examples
Listen, trick, I've had all I can handle
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
Think of all the fun you had (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
The finest line divides a night well spent from a waste of time
We won't stand for
And think of all the days you spent alone (We won't stand for)
With just your TV set and I (Hazy eyes anymore)
I can barely smile (We won't stand for)
We won't stand for (Think of all the fun you've had)
Hazy eyes anymore (The finest line divides a night well spent)
We won't stand for (From a waste of time)
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore (Think of all the days you spent alone)
Hazy eyes anymore (With just your TV set and I)
We won't stand for
Well I can barely smile
Let's go
He's smoked out in the back of the van (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
Says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on
He's smoked out in the back of the van (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
Says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on
And oh so tired of being sick
We're both such magnificent liars
So crush me baby, I'm all ears
So obviously desperate, so desperately obvious
I'll give in one more time and feed you stupid lines all about "It's basic"
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
So sick, so sick of being tired
And oh so tired of being sick
Willing and ready to prove the worst of everything you said about
So obviously desperate, so desperately obvious
So good at setting bad examples
Listen, trick, I've had all I can handle
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore
Think of all the fun you had (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
The finest line divides a night well spent from a waste of time
We won't stand for
And think of all the days you spent alone (We won't stand for)
With just your TV set and I (Hazy eyes anymore)
I can barely smile (We won't stand for)
We won't stand for (Think of all the fun you've had)
Hazy eyes anymore (The finest line divides a night well spent)
We won't stand for (From a waste of time)
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore (Think of all the days you spent alone)
Hazy eyes anymore (With just your TV set and I)
We won't stand for
Well I can barely smile
Let's go
He's smoked out in the back of the van (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
Says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on
He's smoked out in the back of the van (We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore)
Says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Magical

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.
This is definitely a great song. I think it's about someone who is tired of being stuck in a deceitful relationship. Thanks.
