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.
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Tears fill my eyes 'til I can't see
Three o'clock in the morning
Here am I
Sittin' here so lonely
So lonesome I could cry
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Now that it's over
I realized
Those weak words you whispered were nothin' but lies
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Why can't you be blue over me
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Tears fill my eyes 'til I can't see
Three o'clock in the morning
Here am I
Sittin' here so lonely
So lonesome I could cry
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Now that it's over
I realized
Those weak words you whispered were nothin' but lies
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me
Why can't you be blue over me

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.

“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.

This song is awesome. It's pretty self-explanatory. I don't even like country that much, but after my friend Kori sung it in the play, and she did awesome, I became addicted to it. You rocked, Kori!
I love this song,it's so relaxing.
I love this song. I can sing this song perfect. It's a song that I've sang about my ex-boyfriend.
