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

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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/
Punchline

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
dude choco your right it does sort of resemble everclear's song I like tbs but i wonder if maybe theyve ripped parts of their songs off. It took a good eye to notice that choco
